CommonsHTTPSender Question

[Bob Beck <rb...@lifecomhealth.com>]

I was trying to do some performance experiments with a .NET client and a 
Java-based Axis client talking to an Axis 1.1 server, and noticed the .NET 
client does HTTP "keep-alives" while the Java Axis client didn't (the .NET 
client performs alot better than the Java client, I'm trying to understand 
why, and figure the lack of keep-alive's is part of the explanation).

I found the references to CommonsHTTPSender (isn't google wonderful? :-), 
and noticed it's in the Axis 1.1 documentation, but I don't find the class 
file with the Axis 1.1 release.  I assume this is some form of version skew 
on the Axis 1.1 docs.

I do find CommonsHTTPSender in the Axis 1.2 alpha release source code, 
however; but it's not in the axis.jar file included as part of 
axis-1_2alpha.zip.  More version skew?

So, I'm curious if CommonsHTTPSender will be part of Axis 1.2 or not.

Before Axis 1.2, then, I get the impression I need a copy of 
CommonsHTTPSender (and probably the common-httpclient code), compile it, 
and configure it into my clients.  Where does one find a good copy of 
CommonsHTTPSender that works with Axis 1.1 ?  I found some references as to 
how to configure it into my client-config.wsdd, so I think I know how to do 
that.

Thanks.
