Re: Sessions across different services

[tony . q . weddle]

Hi Jochen,

From the little I've read, you need to deploy the session handler on the client side also. I've never done this but I believe you can use a WSDD file on the client side to specify request and reponse handlers, so I guess this is where you need to do it. If it already works for one service, check out how the client is configured for that service.

Alternatively, use HTTP sessions for all services. The HTTP session is available from the message context and the client needs to setMaintainSession(true) on the Call or Service object.

I guess the Axis framework has to store the session cookie (which would normally be stored by a browser) and send it with each request, so the framework has to be told about this on the client side, somehow.

Hi Tony,

yes, I did define the handler "session".

Sessions are working for *one* service without problems. But I want to
get the same session from another service.

I think there must be some configuration on the client side to tell the
axis engine to use the same sessionID for all services.
