AXIS, SOAP and cookie based routing
I need to be able to set cookies on SOAP responses so that subsequent
requests will come back to the same server. The load balancer will examine
the cookie and route subsequent requests back to the same web server. The
cookie will be unique to the server and will not vary by session.
I don't see a way with Axis to add Set-Cookie headers on HTTP responses. Am
I just not seeing it? Perhaps I could write a handler that handles
flowResponse and tacks on the cookie?
Thanks,
Keith

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.

RE: AXIS, SOAP and cookie based routing
Posted by Keith <ke...@gmail.com>.
I appreciate the advice but I have to use cookies -- I don't have an
alternative. I am not interested in session management.
The existing infrastructure is using cookies. I need to be able to set a
specific cookie with a specific value.
I need to be able to insert the following header in the HTTP response:
Set-Cookie: MN=1, path=/
The "MN" is fixed. The value (1 in this case) identifies the server -- so
each server will use the value that identifies it.
The browser will automatically send back the cookie in subsequent requests,
the load balancer will use that to route it back to the correct web server.
Thanks,
Keith

An alternative to cookies - which I have used successfully - would be to
generate your own UUID and store that in a replicated cache like ehache or
TreeCache.
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/util/UUID.html
The idea being that on successful login, the uuid is returned and then
passed
back in on subsequent requests. Its a quick, simple approach.
Yet another alternative would be SimpleSessionHandler in axis 1.x and
SeviceGroupContext in axis2 .

I am not trying to use cookies to maintain session. I want to use cookies
for load balancer affinity. The idea is that every session going to a
server will have the same cookie -- and only my software will know what name
and value to use based on the server.
When I read this it looks like Axis is creating a cookie with the name it
wants to use and a value that varies by sessions on the same server.
