Unfortunately it doesn't look like it. If you look at the
SOAPPublisher.render method, it looks up the callable and then calls
it (indirecting through maybeDeferred). The only place the request is
available is in the local namespace of render. So, you could:
1) override render, stuff the request somewhere (like self), then get
it out in your method; you should only do this if threads are in no
way involved. If there aren't any threads then it would be safe. Just
be sure to get it out immediately and pass around what you got out
(for example, don't return a deferred then look in self in a callback)
2) use some horrible callframe hack to extract the request from the
caller's frame. This would have the advantage of being threadsafe,
but you aren't using threads anyway -- right?
Itamar is the guy to talk to about SOAP and XMLRPC, but I guess he
doesn't read this list. If you want to have a cleaner way of doing
this in the future, you should probably talk to him about it, either
on IRC or through email or something.
