Hi,
I developed the following sample code using Axis 2 with session management. The service is very simple, it has a single method called plusone(). Whenever you call plusone() with session enabled, it will return counter++. The counter is initialized to 0 in init() and stored in session. I believe the server side code works fine, because after I deployed MySessionService.aar, if I use my browser to refresh http://localhost:8080/axis2/rest/MySessionService/plusone <BLOCKED::http://localhost:8080/axis2/rest/MySessionService/plusone> It will return 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, etc. However, in my Stub client test code, even if I coded stub._getServiceClient().getOptions().setManageSession(true); All the 3 direct stub.plusone() calls only return 1, 1, 1 instead of 1, 2, 3. Attached are source codes in zip file. If you want to regenerate codes from scratch, please use README.TXT. All the codes should work fine in Eclipse 3.2.1 except I removed libraries of Axis2 and JUnit. Please note I set the session scope to transport session in service.xml. I really appreciate if somebody could tell me what part in my code is wrong and why the session doesn't work for Stub. I can email you the source code if you need it. I cannot attach to axis-user group, it is regarded as spam.
