Keep Alive Issue

["SUNDARESH, Shankar" <sh...@orange.co.uk>]

Hi,
     I am a newbie to Axis and this is my first message to the group. Please
excuse me if there are any mistakes in my post. My problem is this :

We were using JOnAS 4.6.6 as the application server for one of the projects
here. This version of JOnAS has Axis 1.2.1 bundled with it. Our client
applications use HTTP 1.1 and as such expect the connection to be persistent
unless otherwise specified. But, it so happens that the connection is being
closed from the Axis end and hence all our responses are being rejected by
the clients. I thought that a newer version of Axis might have solved this
problem. Accordingly, we started using JOnAS 4.7.5 ( which has Axis 1.4
bundled with it ). Unfortunately, the problem persists even with this version
of Axis.

I tried a search on the user mailing lists but could not find any note which
mentions that this issue has been solved. I also tried downloading the source
and found the following code snippet in the HttpSender class :

        if (!http10) {
            //Force close for now.
            //TODO HTTP/1.1
            httpConnection = HTTPConstants.HEADER_CONNECTION_CLOSE;
        }


My question is : Has this issue been solved in any later releases of Axis 1.x
? If not, how can I configure the existing Axis installation to make use of
the Keep Alive feature ? I tried using the CommonsHttpSender transport
instead of the default HttpSender in the "client-config.wsdd" file but it did
not help matters much.

Any help or pointers would be much useful to me. Thanks in advance for all
the help.

Regards,
Shankar
