Session Management using SOAP Headers in AXIS

[Mahen Perera <ma...@gmail.com>]

Hi !

I want to manage Session using SOAP headers. For this i am using the
"SimpleSessionHandler" provided by AXIS. I added this handler
successfully to the server side and it is getting executed. I noticed
the SOAP headers containing the Session id using the TCPMON tool.

However, I was unable to get the Client Side "SimpleSessionHandler "
to get executed.


Following is the deploy.wsdd file


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!-- Use this file to deploy some handlers/chains and services

I issued the following command to generate the client-config.wsdd file.

org.apache.axis.utils.Admin client deploy.wsdd



The following client-config.wsdd file was generated.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<deployment xmlns="http://xml.apache.org/axis/wsdd/"
xmlns:java="http://xml.apache.org/axis/wsdd/providers/java">
 <handler name="session"
type="java:org.apache.axis.handlers.SimpleSessionHandler"/>
 <transport name="java" pivot="java:org.apache.axis.transport.java.JavaSender"/>
 <transport name="http" pivot="java:org.apache.axis.transport.http.HTTPSender"/>
 <transport name="local"
pivot="java:org.apache.axis.transport.local.LocalSender"/>
</deployment>


I added this to the Axis.jar file ,,..

However, the Handler did not get executed.

Hoping for a quick response
