Do you mean that the Apache SOAP server doesn't support keep-alives? Or the client?
I am finding that my attempts at writing a custom SOAP Transport are failing as well.. so perhaps you meant the former. This is frustrating.. I tried using pureTLS instead of JSSE.. no change.. so I think it's the JDK itself that is acting up. I am just surprised that this problem isn't higher profile!! It makes it unusable. I am finding 0 out of 10 times it is reusing the connection.

The frequent handshaking is, I believe, caused by JSSE or JDK 1.4 marking cached sessions as stale very quickly. I have run tests in which a cached SSL session is re-used anywhere from 0 to 6 times out of 10. I have not figured out a way to control this. On 4 Feb 2003 at 11:42, Luke Galea wrote: > > Hello!!
