The Microsoft Reporting Services uses an application-defined mechanism to manage sessions (i.e., specifying the SessionID in a header block), so it doesn't depend on the Web service implementations to use compatible session management mechanisms. It should work just fine as long as you implement support for this header block.

I appreciate all the help! I will look into a deployment descriptor. I did read an article last night that stated: "There are not yet any solutions to ensure interoperability in terms of session management between Axis and other Web Service implementations." This is from an article (Axis: The new Incarnation of Apache SOAP.pdf) that is dated 2002.

Do you need to define (use) a Deployment Descriptor when using Axis on the client side? I thought it was for the server side configuration only. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dorner Thomas" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, June 03, 2004 8:58 AM Subject: AW: Axis client gets a Session Id Required error when attempting to perform an render action against Microsoft's Reporting Services You have to use SimpleSessionHandler --> you must set in the Deployment Descriptor like this: ... xmlns:java="http://xml.apache.org/axis/wsdd/providers/java";> <handler name="SessionHandler" type="java:org.apache.axis.handlers.SimpleSessionHandler"/> <!-- Services from PDMWebConnectorService WSDL service --> <service name="xxx" provider="java:RPC" style="rpc" use="encoded"> <requestFlow> <handler type="SessionHandler"/> </requestFlow> <responseFlow> <handler type="SessionHandler"/> </responseFlow> <parameter name="wsdl..... --> create " SimpleSessionHandler sessionHandler;" in your stub for example in the constructors. and set the clientHandlers like this to your call: _call.setClientHandlers(sessionHandler, sessionHandler); and setMaintainSession() in your client.

I am new to Axis and am not able to get the session id to show up in the HTTP Header or the SOAP header. I have tried setting rsSoapStub.setMaintainSession(true) and adding <parameter name="scope" value="session"/> to the WSDL before using WSDL2Java.

I am able to save and retrieve the reports but when I attempt to run a report I get a MissingSessionIdException error. I am trying to figure out how to get the session id passed in the request.
