session across two WS

[giatorta]

Hi all,

I have a scenario where the client calls Web Service WS1 and WS1 calls
Web Service WS2

I have methods M1 on WS1 and M2 on WS2 both with EnabledSession=True

assume M1 on WS1 does the following (in VB-like pseudocode):
If (new session) Then
Session("foo1") = "OLD1"
Else
Session("foo1") = "NEW1"
EndIf
call M2 on Web Service WS2

and assume M2 on WS2 does the following:
If (new session) Then
Session("foo2") = "OLD2"
Else
Session("foo2") = "NEW2"
EndIf

if I call M1 twice from a client, Session("foo1") will be "NEW1"

what about Session("foo2")? will it be "NEW2"? if not, how is it
possible to preserve session on Web Service WS2 across two calls to
WS1?

thanks a lot in advance,
-Gianluca

ASP.NET sessions are based on cookies. On first call the the caller receives
a cookie which it passes back to the web service on subsequent calls. The
web service associates the calls with the session based on the cookie.

So basically, if M1 maintains the cookie it receives from M2, and sends it
to M2 on subsequent calls, then it should work out ok.
