Re: How to get/set cookies from the Axis *client* side?

John,

I'm not sure what you were getting back from the MessageContext but there is no HttpRequest available from the Axis client. HttpRequests only exist on the server. Of course, your client may be embedded in a server side object but the HttpRequest for that would not be the one associated with the web service request.
