1. A method, in a data processing system, for propagating source identification information from an application front-end system in an application layer to a data layer inspection system associated with a back-end system, comprising:

  • receiving, at the data layer inspection system, an incoming user request from a gateway system, in the application layer, associated with the application front-end system;

    receiving, at the data layer inspection system, one or more outgoing statements targeting the back-end system and being generated by the application front-end system based on the received incoming user request;

    accessing, by the data layer inspection system, a mapping data structure based on the one or more outgoing statements to thereby correlate the one or more outgoing statements with the incoming user request;

    retrieving, by the data layer inspection system, source identification information associated with the incoming user request based on the correlation of the one or more outgoing statements with the incoming user request; and

    performing, by the data layer inspection system, a data layer inspection operation based on the source identification information.
