General beginners question: State persistence?

[Pasha Shabalin <pa...@bigfoot.com>]

Hello,

i have a general question to SOAP. Hope it is still ok to post it here.

Which options do i have for having stateful objects on the SOAP server? So
that the client "holds" a reference to one object, which preserves it's
state between client calls, until client somehow decides to drop the object.

;-) of course except of self-coding session IDs and "by hand" storing object
state in a database on every call

thanks, have a nice day
pasha

Pasha...
Yes, your service can maintain session state for each client.  Look in the
archives for a thread "stateful web services".  Basically, you need to do
two things:
Put this line in deployment descriptor...
   <parameter name="scope" value="session"/>
Put this line in your client...
   call.setMaintainSession(true);
