sessions frameworks interoperable

[Clarence Dahlin <cl...@gmail.com>]

Hi,

>From my research on the web, the topic about sessions in web services seems
to generate quite alot of questions but not alot of answers.

I know that Axis 1.3 handles session IDs well in the Soap Header with the
SimpleSessionHandler but I need to know if there is an interoperable way of
doing this. It is extremely difficult to get clear information about how
different framework handle sessions. I can't rely on any namespaces but
those in the WS-I Basic Profile and my own.

My hope was that I would be able to specify the sessionID in the WSDL as a
Soap Header and that the frameworks would be able to use this to handle
sessions.

The only reliable way I can think of is to send a session ID in the message
body and let my application code handle sessions.

I'm in a hurry to solve this issue since my boss is on me about it and my
stress level is way up there... It feels kinda hopeless.

kind regards,
Clarence
