Tomcat High Session counts (RE: AXIS, SOAP and cookie based routing)

["Jayaraman, Venkatesh" <jv...@cisco.com>]

Let me answer my own posting here again ..;D


All tomcat web server clients including soap clients need to follow two
rfcs with respect to HTTP protocol.

http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2616.html 
Hypertext Transfer Protocol -HTTP/1.1

http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2109.txt
HTTP State Management Mechanism


Failing to do this on Axis Client side results in high session counts on
tomcat server.


Please follow the steps advised in
http://wiki.apache.org/ws/FrontPage/Axis/AxisClientConfiguration


Great FAQs page ..Thanks

When I used AXIS on tomcat Web Server.  I was seeing high session
counts.
Any help in reducing this high session counts seen on tomcat manager?

When you say you do support cookies do you mean setting of specific
cookies
or cookies that axis uses for session management?  I am not interested
in
session management.  I need to set specific cookie of the customer's
choosing.

Thanks,
Keith

well , axis2 support session management in current code base now , and 
session management is configurable using parameters in both server and 
client side. We do support cookie as well.

Thanks,
