RE: MessageContext.setMaintainSession

[Volanis, Alexander]

Title: Message

Grant,   As the name implies "scope"="session" is the way to enable session tracking in Axis services. It is really up to the client to maintain the session by caching the HTTP cookies returned by the server. Most clients would either do this by default or require a flag to enable it like Axis clients do. As far as HTTP sessions go this is all you need to support them.   Alex -----Original Message----- From: Grant Echols (JanusLogix) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, September 27, 2002 3:48 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: MessageContext.setMaintainSession Alex,   Thank you for your explanation. It has helped clear up some misconceptions on my part.   I gather from your comments and the doc that I cannot use "scope"="Application" if I want to maintain session oriented information for a SOAP client? Is this the extent of the session management in Axis?   Thanks,   Grant   ----- Original Message ----- From: Volanis, Alexander To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Sent: Friday, September 27, 2002 8:48 AM Subject: RE: MessageContext.setMaintainSession The correct way to enable session management is in your deploy.wsdd file. Add <parameter name="scope" value="Session"/> to your service deployment. To get the desired effect your clients have to enable session management as well. Use ((org.apache.axis.client.Stub) ws).setMaintainSession(true) where "ws" is your service client instance returned by the ServiceLocator class implementation in Axis client generated code terms.   Alex -----Original Message----- From: Grant Echols (JanusLogix) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, September 26, 2002 3:12 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: MessageContext.setMaintainSession I'm trying to understand the MessageContext session management and I'm confused by what its supposed to do. On the first request from a client I see that the session management is not turned on so I turn it on. On the second request the session management is still not turned on. Is there some other requirement I don't know about?   Thanks,   Grant
