browser client/apache soap
Does anyone have an example of a browser client
using apache soap?
I'm wondering how the soap call is packaged up. In the examples, all the clients
are java apps that have the advantage of using the Call class mechanism.
Would it work to call a servlet with query parms, then have that servlet
use the soap Call stuff and then forward or include the RPCRouterServlet?
thanks.

Rich,
You raise a good point, and last week there were a lot of discussions about
support for the session object in a future release. I believe that for now
you need to implement a unique session identifier yourself.
However, I am curious about this, as it would seem to me that the browser
loads an HTML page (which includes a SOAP aware applet), the browser would
define the Session ID, and then any SOAP calls from the applet should use
the same session ID. Is this correct?

That'd be great. Thanks.
I assume you are using the apache-saop Call class mechanism?
If so, then the Call object is doing the job of browser, and part of that job is
to process headers. In that sense the Call is the http client. Normally, the
browser would process the headers, right? And in so doing, it would
procecss any cookies set by the web container/servlet engine. More
specifically, the cookies that specify the sessionId The http client, (the Call)
is responsible to send the cookie back on subsequent calls to the same
endpoint (URL) so that an HttpSession can be maintained across multiple
related soap calls from the same client. I don't believe this is happening.
Has anyone thought about this? Am I thinking about this the wrong way?
I'd like to find a way to let the browser handle the cookie stuff, but how can
that be accomplished if the apache-soap Call stuff is used? If the Call object
carries out the fullfillment of the URL, then the browser is out of the loop,
even using an applet.
Any insight would be much appreciated.
Thanks.

Rich,
I am experimenting with an Applet to do this, but am a few days away from
getting to the SOAP part. Once I have something, I'll post it on the list.
But in answer to your question, using SOAP calls inside an Applet should do
what you want.
Thanks,
Cory
