I was working on attempting to increase performance on a web app which calls a jaxws service on behalf of the user. The process for creating the jaxws client is somewhat slow so I was to try and cache the the jaxws client object as an HTTP session attribute. It doesn't work for some reason.
What does work is attaching the jaxws client object to the application context, however this isn't a feasible solution. I vaguely recall running into a similar problem with performing the same task in jboss which i think had the requirement for adding a @Serializable annotation to anything added to the session object. Does tomcat require the same?
