I am getting the message context successfully, i print the but "String
incomingCookie = (String) inMsgCtx.getServiceContext ().getProperty(
HTTPConstants.COOKIE_STRING)" is returning me a null. Is there any other way
I can access the cookie.

Thanks

 I've successfully retrieved and returned http session cookies.



Here's a snippet for reading a cookie from an axis2 client:

                String incomingCookie = (String)
inMsgCtx.getServiceContext().getProperty(HTTPConstants.COOKIE_STRING);



Here's one for writing a cookie.



                /*

                 * This is how to add a custom header, such as a cookie

                 */

                Header hdr = new Header("Cookie","my_cookie=xyz;");

                ArrayList headers = new ArrayList();

                headers.add(hdr);

                opts = outMsgCtx.getOptions();

                opts.setProperty(HTTPConstants.HTTP_HEADERS,headers);



You could do something similar to the above but the easiest way for me to
get this working was to set the manageTransportSession=true in axis2.xmland 
then use the following on the client side:

opts.setProperty(HTTPConstants.REUSE_HTTP_CLIENT,true);



This tells axis to re-use the httpclient object for second, third, etc..
requests. If this is done, the http-client remembers the JSESSIONID from the
first request and sends it back to the server on subsequent requests.

Hi

 Is there any way we can manage sessions manually using Axis2, my non java
web service maintains session using cookies. Is there a way my Axis2 client
can read the soap/http header to extract the session information and use the
extracted infromation for further web service calls, example getting the
UUID from the header and use the UUID to create a cookie in my Axis2 client
using setProperty. I have tried using the set manage session method to true
but that does not work.

  Can you please point me to another thread that answers my question if
you are unable to answer this question.

Thanks
Anil
