Hi Morten,
Could you explain why/how the EJB could get out of synch if it is stored in
the http session object?
The thing is I had seen people do it the way you describe it but I didn't
understand why. So I stored in the http session an object which has a
reference to the statefull session bean and I'm afraid the problem you're
talking about could happen.
Thanks,
Laurent

Hi Venkat,
Just a question about your use of EJB.
Am I right if I understood that you have a servlet for authentication which
stores a EJB in the servlet session object?
If this is the case then you may run into problems.
As a good guideline don't store complexe objects in the servlet session
object like an EJB. Regarding the EJB, then it may get out of synch with
the datasource.
Solution: if you only need one or two fields then copy them into an other
object stored in the session object, else store the key used to retrieve
the EJB afterwards and thrust the EJB container to catch the EJB for
performance (If you are using IBM WebSphere then this is no problem).
An other problem is that it sounds like you are using statefull session
beans which is considerably low on performance compared to stateless
session beans. Solution: Change your session beans to be stateless, then
you don't need to store a reference to the EJB.
My sugestion to you is that you store a userid in the servlet session
object, and when you call the SOAP service you include the userid in the
request. Though your business method will be able to retrieve the user
object and save the work.

Please respond
to soap-user
Hi,
How can we restrict the client to use the same 'Call' Object
over
and over for invoking different SOAP services that are deployed on a web
server? Is it by resetting the targetObjectURI and the method & parameters
of that 'Call' Object? If this is the case then it is limitation to what
SOAP can do under session scope. This means that the 'Call' Object is tied
to the SOAP Service that is of scope 'session' and not the client itself.
Well any ways this is not my problem child. My problem is something like
this.
When a User logs in, a Servlet handles the authentication and
creates and EJB Object that is stored in the session object for that user.
I
need to access and invoke a business method on this EJB object some time
later when the user decides to save his work to the database. My question
is
how do I get the handle to this EJB Object, that is stored in the session
object, from my SAOP Service. Is there any way to access the session object
that was originally created by the servlet during user authentication from
a
SOAP Service?
Christian -- Thanks for the reply.
