Hi,
Client will not know this. With the changes Deepal is doing, client
just need to say options.maintainSession (true). Axis2 will handle it
for you.
Well, For Axis2 vs Axis2 scenario this is true. However I feel that we should be thinking of non-Axis2 clients as well in which case they "have" to know the specifc id to be sent in the SOAP header.
This is exactly my concern as well. How are we going to handle this scenario.
I total agree with you point there. However let me explain it fully. I did a poor job last time, my bad :-( .I think its unfair to put a document directly in to the site, without
everyone is given a chance to review it. Once you put the doc in the
site, it represents the Axis2 POV. So anyone who is interested must be
given a chance to look at it and change if needed.
I guess what Chinthaka meant to say was that a proposal is not suitable in the Axis2 main site (ws.apache.org/axis2 ) propably due to its immutable nature :). Wiki is definitely the place for such a proposal and you are welcome to post it in the wiki.
I was thinking about a news item or an article in the main site that talks about Axis2 clustering in general without tieing it to any technology/design or anything like that. (Definietly not a concrete proposal). So defientely not Axis2 POV regarding clustering. I think we are a long way from that :)
The article would say that we are interested/looking into the problem, the nature of the problem and the challengers we are facing. The problem regarding session would be one problem listed there.
This would be like an advertisement to generate interest and drag interested parties to look into more of it.
Another point is any company/organization looking at Axis2 as a potential development platform will atleast get the idea that we are thinking about and important problem that will be a very big concern for them during deployment time. This is something in the future, but we are giving people an assurance that we are going to work on there concern.
We could have a link from that doc to the wiki to show the following
a) The open ended proposal about Session Mgt
b) More Axis2 specific details surronding the problem
c) A proposal on the clustering prototype I am working.
My concern about not having something in the main site is that the information will be inside Wiki with not much attention. And I endup doing the protoype without much input. Remember two heads are better than one, so definielty more input I get the better the prototype will be.
Did I do a resonable job explaining it?? How does it sound?
Regards,
Rajith.
