I am designing a web service based application the will require a work flow of web service calls. SSL will be used for transport security. I am concerned about the SSL handshake overhead if each of the web service calls use a new SSL connection. I would like reuse the SSL socket across several calls thus accruing the handshake overhead only once.
The Axis JavaDoc indicate that the org.apache.axis.transport.http... invoke methods create a new socket. So it seems that the current implementation does not support using a single HTTP socket across several web service calls. Is there a workaround? Thanks Bill Andrews [EMAIL PROTECTED]
