Hi Everybody, I have learned that in order to maintain sessions in web services that use Apache Axis some effort (configuration) is required on the client side.
If the client is a browser, then it can send the session cookie back to the server on itself. But web services clients could be stand alone java programs and you can't guarantee that the clients would send the cookie back to you. You can't force the client developers to follow the steps to maintain the session. In that case each web service request could end up creating a new session and this would not be desirable at all. I can turn the session management off on server side (I'll be using web sphere), but then it would turn it off for every client, whereas I do want to maintain sessions for clients who would be able to send the session cookie back. And on the other side I don't want each request to keep on creating new sessions when session is not returned. Any ideas about how to approach this issue? Thanks in advance. Vikas
