Closing HTTP1.1 Keep-Alive Session in CommonsHTTPSender

[Chris Averia <ch...@yahoo.com>]

Hello,
 
I am developing my own webservice using the WSDL2Java server-side generated code.  My webservice in turn, also acts as an Axis Client by making calls to other web services.
 
For this, I am using stubs also generated by WSDL2Java and specified CommonsHTTPSender as the transport inside client-config.wsdd.  The purpose for me to use CommonsHTTPSender is to maintain an HTTP1.1 Keep-Alive connection so as to reduce the overhead in establishing TCP connections everytime I make an outgoing SOAP.
 
What I did was everytime my web service implementation class gets called to service the incoming SOAP, I create an instance of the stub and use it to make outgoing SOAP calls.
 
For example,
 
Stub stub = new Locator().getPort(url);
stub.method1();
stub.method2();
stub.method3();
stub.method4();
 
So if I use CommonsHTTPSender, the 4 method calls above maintains a single HTTP 1.1 Keep-alive connection (which is what my objective is).
 
However, I wanted to close the HTTP connection after the last method (method4).  Becuase if i dont, I found out that the TCP connection to the server remains established.  How do I do this?
 
Thanks!
Chris
