WebServiceContext

[sej]

I'm trying to have a web service store info to a session that is unique for each consumer.

@Resource
private WebServiceContext wsContext;

@WebMethod
@WebResult(name="MyMethodResponse")
public Integer MyMethod(){

   MessageContext mc = wsContext.getMessageContext();
   HttpSession session = ((javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest)mc.get(MessageContext.SERVLET_REQUEST)).getSession();
   Integer count = (Integer) session.getAttribute("count");
   if(null == count){
      count = 0;
      System.out.println("new session id=" + session.getId());
   }
   count++;
   session.setAttribute("count", count);
   return count;
}

The count is supposed to be incremented each time I go through this method, but it does not.

Is there something I need to add to the consumer code for this?  Any other ideas?

I'm using Eclipse 3.4.2, jboss 4.2.3.GA, jdk 1.5.0_17.

Yes, your webservice clients have to be configured to handler sessions properly.

Here's the sample code:

QName serviceName = new QName(targetNS, "ServiceName");
wsdlURL = new URL(wsdlURLString)Service service = Service.create(wsdlURL, serviceName);
HelloWorldIface proxy = (HelloWorldIface)service.getPort(HelloWorldIface.class);
((BindingProvider)proxy).getRequestContext().put(BindingProvider.SESSION_MAINTAIN_PROPERTY, true);
proxy.invokeSomeMethod(); // this will handle/propagate sessions properly
