Srinath,
Thanks a lot for posting the links to those articles.
I agree that WS-Context maybe more sesion oriented and we currently support only WS-Addressing.
So supporting WS-Context could be done in the future if thats the way to go. Unfortunately there is no standard and the direction to take is a difficult decesion when it comes to session with web services.
However Srinath thats more protocol level and this proposal deals at the Axis2 layer.
So in short wether we use WS-Context or WS-Addressing we still has to make sure we bridge the gap between service group contexts if we need a session to continue over multiple Service Groups.
Part of the Axis2 objectives is to hide the complexicity of the protocol layer and provide only a higer-level abstraction to the service author so that he can concentrate on the business logic.
So I still belive a proper abstraction of a session & management should be provided thats also indepedent of the protocol layer.
Actually it will be part of the dispatcher or something like that to pick up the session id from the handlers or what ever and retrive the session for that client.
So maybe we have different handler that picks up the session id from the soap header in WS-Addressing or is it's WS-Context it will be from the context header where session id is provided explicitly.
Did I answer your concern ?? Also check the other thread on session mgt for the answer to your question about multiple services.
Regards,
Rajith

Quoting from http://www.idealliance.org/proceedings/xml05/ship/54/xml2005-wssessions.HTML
" It is intended to be used as a building block by other
specifications that require session constructs -- in fact, several
specifications related to transaction protocols in OASIS are already
building on WS-Context"
If this claim is true we will be best placed using the WS-Context
approch. See 3.2. Web Services Sessions using WS-Context. RM WS-AT and
WS-Coordination people can you verify?
Thanks
