issues establishing a persistent connection

[Joe Love <jo...@lac.uic.edu>]

Is there a procedure for getting axis to establish persistent 
connections, so that calls to methods in a service will use the same 
connection, rather than establishing their own connection?

Right now, I can have code along the lines of the following:

AxisService as;
as.setvalue(5);
int val = as.getvalue();

Every call establishes a new connection to the server; opens up a new 
port on the client side, creates a new tcp connection to the server, 
etc).  This is problematic, because I can't retrieve data I may have set 
already.  In the above example, if getvalue() returns the value stored 
by setvalue(), I cannot retrieve the value set.

There was a previous email about persistent connections which suggested 
that they were the default behavior, however, my testing is not showing 
that axis is behaving this way.

I'm not sure what information would be useful in trying to understand 
what is happening here, but I can provide any information that may be of 
interest.

Thanks,
