Fw: Re: How to get Envelope String - or other ideas? - Solved
In case anyone ever runs across the same issue... I had a different version of the Commons Http Client jar file than axis ships within my class path (web-inf/lib directory) for some other work that the application was doing.It apparently hassome mismatched code that was causing the cookie to get lost. Thanks. -Forwarded by Mike Witters/People/Perficient on 08/19/2005 10:29AM -To: axis-user@ws.apache.orgFrom: Mike Witters/People/PerficientDate: 08/18/2005 11:27AMSubject: Re: How to get Envelope String - or other ideas?Thanks for the advice. This is one of the things that I had seen hashed over several times in previous emails in the archive. I had tried it before and it didn't work, but I knew that so many people wouldnt have said it works if it didnt. So I tried again usingsmall test case from a command like application and it worked. Using the TCP Monitor I can see the Header for the cookie in the Http transaction. The wierd thing is that when I do the exact same code from within my WebSphere portal application the cookie is not set when watching in TCP Monitor so I get denied entry into my web service. This is why Ididnt think it worked for the past few days. I'm not sure that thisis an Axis problem since it only happens when running in WebSphere, but I'm not sure how WebSphere portal could be doing something to remove the cookieeither. Any ideas, anyone? Thanks. -Davanum Srinivas [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: - To: axis-user@ws.apache.org From: Davanum Srinivas [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: 08/17/2005 03:09PM Subject: Re: How to get Envelope String - or other ideas?

Can anyone point me to a quick way to do one, or both? Or am I missing the boat and there is an easier way to add the cookie to the request when Axis goes to send the request?Thanks in advance.
