The WSA handles session-managed SOAP Web services in exactly the same way that other OpenEdge clients access an AppServer running in state-aware, state-reset, or stateless operating mode. That is, session-managed SOAP Web services are single-threaded. Thus, the WSA maintains a single network session to connect the SOAP Web service and all its objects to a single AppServer on behalf of a single SOAP Web service client. All requests from the client to the same SOAP Web service objects use the same AppServer connection. This session model provides full support on the AppServer side for context management, and makes available the capabilities of the AppServer to support transaction-oriented interactions across multiple client requests.
