Look at UsernameToken to secure the service, this is not an additional service though some people have implemented it this way. It is simply part of the security header as you described and forms part of the 'listFunctions' service and must be sent everytime 'listFunctions' is called, which explains why some people implement it as a separate service. If it's to be part of the header it's not a separate service. 'Closing the service' I don't understand but surely your 'listFunctions' service can do this when it's done.

Guys, Thanks for the reply. One of our client has this requirement. They want to authenticate, call some services and close (call close service) the session in a single request by which they don't have any orphaned sessions. I have three services deployed in the server authenticate, listfinction and ABS. Below is the 3 SOPAs for 3 webservice call (from client) captured in SOAPMonitor: authenthicate service SOAP <?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?> http://localhost:8080/services/authenticateservice <wsa:MessageID>urn:uuid:2595C7BE88547C153B1247470034166</wsa:MessageID> <wsa:Action>authenticateWithRole</wsa:Action> </soapenv:Header> <soapenv:Body> <ns:authenticate xmlns:ns="authenticateservice"> <ns:username>system</ns:username> <ns:password>manager</ns:password> </ns:authenticate> </soapenv:Body> </soapenv:Envelope> listfunction service SOAP <?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?> <soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/";> <soapenv:Header xmlns:wsa="http://www.w3.org/2005/08/addressing";> http://localhost:8080/services/abc_listFunctions <wsa:MessageID>urn:uuid:2595C7BE88547C153B1247470035857</wsa:MessageID> <wsa:Action>listFunctions</wsa:Action> </soapenv:Header> <soapenv:Body> <ns:listFunctions xmlns:ns="abc_listFunctions"> <arg0>LIMS1_f9e44b2c1227302196bda75955654ce3</arg0> <arg1>false</arg1> </ns:listFunctions> </soapenv:Body> </soapenv:Envelope> ABS service SOAP <?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?> <soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/";> <soapenv:Header xmlns:wsa="http://www.w3.org/2005/08/addressing";> http://localhost:8080/services/ABS <wsa:MessageID>urn:uuid:2595C7BE88547C153B1247470047736</wsa:MessageID> <wsa:Action>invoke</wsa:Action> </soapenv:Header> <soapenv:Body> <arg0>LIMS1_f9e44b2c1227302196bda75955654ce3</arg0> <arg1>-6</arg1> </ns:ABS> </soapenv:Body> </soapenv:Envelope> Now I want to send username and password in SOAP header and in the SOAP body I want add two services that will call two webservices. So by sending a single SOAP I want to call actually three services (authenticate, listfinction and ABS). I hope I could make you understand.

What are you meaning with multiple services? There is just one respons for one request...... and authentication hasn't to do with transaction..... Do you know how you can and why you should, use the webservice!? ________________________________ From: Chinmoy Chakraborty <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> To: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Sent: Monday, July 13, 2009 7:37:43 AM Subject: Re: Is it possible to invoke multiple services in a single transaction? Hi All, I didn't get any response for my previous query so I am sending again. Could you please tell me, "Is it possible to invoke multiple services in a single transaction?". How I can do this? Any idea??

In short in a single SOAP i want to invoke multiple services along with authentication by sending username and password in the SOAP header. How I can do that suing Axis2? Any direction will be highly appreciated. Chinmoy
