How to get get the SOAPMessage reference from the Axis client while using WSDL2JAVA utiliity

[Chandra Talluri <ct...@netnumber.com>]

We are  trying to use AXIS with Tomcat. We want client to open a connection to the server which has webservice and send many soap messages without closing the connection. Is there a way of doing it. I thought about setting http header 

Connetcion: keep-alive

But I don't see how I can get the SOAPMessage reference from the client. I am using the client code generated by the WSDL2JAVA utility

Any help is appreciated

-Thanks
