Problem with Sessions

[M.Rajashekar]

Hi,

I have deployed  service with scope set to 'Session'. When I invoke this
service (The service just returns me the session id) , the session id
returned is always null. I am using iPalnet web Server and Apache SOAP
2.2 on Solaris 5.8.


root[sh]@wajra# java org.apache.soap.server.ServiceManagerClient
http://wajra.india.sun.com:85/soap/rpcrouter list
Deployed Services:
        urn:Hello
root[sh]@wajra# java org.apache.soap.server.ServiceManagerClient
http://wajra.india.sun.com:85/soap/rpcrouter query urn:Hello
<isd:service xmlns:isd="http://xml.apache.org/xml-soap/deployment";
id="urn:Hello" checkMustUnderstands="false">
<isd:provider type="java" scope="Session" methods="sayHelloTo">
<isd:java class="com.iplanet.iabs.SOAPplugin.iabswebservice"
static="false"/>
</isd:provider>
</isd:service>


I am sending the snippet of code for Service as well as client.

service :

public class iabswebservice
{
   public String sayHelloTo(org.apache.soap.rpc.SOAPContext soapCtx,
String name)
  {
     HttpSession httpSess= (HttpSession)
soapCtx.getProperty(org.apache.soap.Constants.BAG_HTTPSESSION);
     String str = httpSess.getId();
     System.out.println("sayHelloTo(String name)");
     request.getSession(true);
     return "Hello " + name + ", How are you doing?" + "  , Your Session
ID is " +  str;
  }
}


client :

 public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception
                            {
                               if(args.length == 0)
                               {
                                  System.err.println("Usage: java
hello.Client [SOAP-router-URL] ");
                                  System.exit (1);
                               }

                               try
                               {

                                  String name = null;
                                  if(args.length == 2)
                                  {
                                     url = new URL(args[0]);
                                     name = args[1];
                                  }
                                  else
