org.apache.axis.session without getId (AW: Hi + congrats + Contrib proposal)

["Christoph C. Cemper @ Cemper.com" <ch...@cemper.com>]

Hi Glen,

any particular reason, why the session-interface does not have a getId like
i.e. the httpSession?

that will be necessary for SessionId-Generation and should be kept inside
the session, right?

  Hi Christoph!

  This is a great project - we'd been thinking of adding something along
these lines, but hadn't gotten around to it yet.  Glad you're working on it!

  I assume you've already looked at the session support built into Axis via
the getSession()/setSession() APIs in the MessageContext and the
SimpleSession implementation.  So essentially your session-management
Handler just needs to keep track of a list of active sessions by ID,
generate new ones when appropriate (i.e. when the SOAP session header isn't
present, make a new session and send back a header containing the new ID),
and time old ones out.  Does this sound about right to you?

    Hi folks,

    after working with Apache SOAP i performed a switch to AXIS for the
handler-features!

    Congratulations, as far as I can judge it, AXIS really is a big step
from Apache Soap.

    I am currently working on a sample of a handler that performs processing
of the SOAPHeader
    for implementing a sort of session handling.

    Reason for that is, that the whole cookie-mechanism for session handling
is not supported by other
    platforms like MS.NET

    Furthermore performing that meta-info-processing via the SOAPHeader
seems much better because
    of it's protocol transparency.

    Ok, what I can offer/contribute is that sample including

    - Java-Code
    - VB-Code for MS.SOAP Toolkit

    How would that contribution work? Who will review/checkin the code as
soon as it is ready?

    mfg / kind regards,
