turn off cookies and enable URLRewriting
Does anyone know how to turn off cookies on the apache soap client so that I can use URL Rewriting.
Basically our application is deployed in clustered environment and I am trying to test soap services with URL Rewriting enabled. I have my soap client in swing that uses Apache SOAP. Right now I am using session management by calling call.setMaintainSession(true).

To maintain a session, the server must send the client some piece of
information that the client will then send back. With cookies, this
is done by the server including a cookie in the Set-Cookie HTTP
header. The client then sends that cookie back with each subsequent
request in a Cookie header. The server identifies the session based
on the cookie.
With URL rewriting, the server sends the client a URL with jsessionid
in the query string. This is sort of built-in when the server is
sending HTML to the client. For each URL sent as a link within the
HTML, the servlet code first calls HttpServletResponse#encodeURL,
which allows the servlet container to put the jsessionid in the query
string. The links on the HTML page now have the jsessionid, so when
the user navigates using one of them, the URL used will indicate to
the server the session through the query string.
With SOAP, the server is not typically sending the client the
available URLs to call. You would need to do something like send the
jsessionid as part of the SOAP response, have the client save it, and
have the client build URLs for subsequent calls to have the
jsessionid in the query string.

Thanks Scott.
When I use setMaintainSession(false), and use URL rewriting, does session
management still work?
I didn't quite understand the second. Why do I need to change my server side
code. We are using weblogic and I thought weblogic takes care of handling
URL Rewriting.
Could you explain it clearly of why do I need to change the server side
code?

There is no need to disable cookie handling to use URL rewriting,
although if you want to disable cookie handling, just do
call.setMaintainSession(false).
Of course, to use rewriting, you will need to code something in your
code to communicate the rewritten URLs to the client, then have the
client use those URLs.
