Web Services examples in the RUN directory

All valid Web Services examples for Axis and .NET are contained in the <sm install>\\webservices\sample directory.

Both the AxisSample and the DotNetSample directories contain documents with setup instructions. In AxisSample this document is readme.txt. In DotNetSample the document is WebServices README.doc.

The AxisSample\bin directory contains a selection of batch files that can be run directly, if JDK 1.4 or higher and Apache Ant are both installed on the machine. The DotNet samples have to be compiled before running.

Note Axis 1.x defaults to using its own httpSender class which is not compatible with HTTP 1.1 Keep-Alive. Axis 1.x must be configured to use the commons-httpclient jar file in order to get keep-alive behavior. Running the Web Service without Keep-Alive negatively impacts performance. The Web Service client needs to be Cookie aware so that the servlet container session is maintained. Micro Focus strongly recommend using Axis 2 that provides HTTP 1.1 keep-alive support and cookie-aware behavior.
