Hi Deepal and All, Yes, storing of messages should only happen for the RM enabled services. In any case if someone needs failover persistence he has to pay that price of storing messages, there are no other solutions to that.
So in that case, the handler configuration explained by Ruchith should work.

If and only if we want to save the message we do that , so I do not mind when RM is turn on particular service then all the message come to that service save some where , not other messages. I think we need to take this issue into Aixs2 mailing list.

Very Good point. We can easily put a handler that does this (lets call this RMPersister). It seems like this has to be the very first handler of the inFlow. But since we are after the transport level we will have to save any changes that happened there. At a glance it seems like we should save following SOAPEnvelope -> We can easily save this in a database. Transport Information -> We have to save the name of in and out transports. And transport header information. If we try to save every message this could greatly reduce the performance. So we could try to detect the messages that go towards RM enabled services. We could identify them by inspecting the SOAP envelope. But When security is present and messages come in an encrypted form a major problem could arise. We cannot inspect messages without decrypting them. So the security handler has to be present before the RMPersister handler. But if Security IN Handler edit the SOAP envelope, it could get confused when we re-inject message when recovering. But if we have the original SOAP Envelope available (without decrypting), we can inject that. But we need some help from the security guys :) Thanx, Chamikara On 12/8/05, [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Hi Chamikara and all I was thinking this sometimes back and had this kind of idea. Need to clarify regarding the feasibility with other modules. If we need to provide failure safe RM then we need to store messages. So if we store them just after the transport level with some id then in a crash, RM can make that message to inject into axis2 engine at the module initialization method. (That is why we add the module init method in the initial design of Axis2) Since we store messages before they get processed, we do not want to store the context information( assume that RM store everything in a DB) Please comment.

The idea is to allow a Axis2+Sadesha2 system to continue a reliable message sequence even after a failure (may be due to a sudden shutdown of Sandesha2, or may be due to power failure). Since Sandesha2 itself is going to be based on a database, it can protect its state from a crash. However protecting the state of Axis2 system is a problem. It seems like to continue correctly Axis2 will need the contexts to come back with the same relationships and state ( flow information ect. ) it had before . Does this mean that we have to ask axis2-devs to bring back the Context Hierarchy Serialization methods we agreed to remove from it sometime back. Or is there a better/different way? Thanx, Chamikara
