I do that too with a login-service. The fact that a user is logged in is maintained as state in the object that implements the web-service. This is why I need "scope=session". I can not assume that all clients accessing the web-service are AXIS-clients, in fact I can be sure that they are not. So I guess my question really is : What is the C# MS-SOAP equivalent of setMaintainSession ? In addition, a question regarding custom serialization/deserialization : The AXIS client examples in the book do a registerTypeMapping on the Call object. Again, how should a non-Java non-axis client handle this ? -- jo
