Hi Bobby,
thank you very much for the helpful response!
I gave it a try and found a new HTTPSession for each run of my static
stub client. That's fine! :-)
I think this session stuff as you explained it should make it's way to
the great J2EE tutorial. In the servlet section, session stuff and all
is mentioned. But not in the JAX-RPC section ...
With my counter stuff and all: I thought to get a fresh instance of my
JAX-RPC endpoint implementation, when there comes a new client (sending
no cookie with the first call). That was a big fault of mine, sorry. I
think I thought too much in JSP or so. :-)
Now, there's another question: is there a standard way for the Dynamic
Proxy Client to hold the session alive?
