Hi, using SAP Portal as consumer and JBoss Portal (JBoss 4.0.5GA + JBossPortal 2.6 DR1) as consumer. I recognized that for each remote invocation a new session is created on JBoss side. SAP stated that this depends on the answer from JBoss during the getServiceDescription method, where JBoss Portal (producers) says, that the consumer does not need to handle sent cookies from the producer. Here the answer from SAP: - JBoss answered that it requires NO cookies initialization (see <ns1:requiresInitCookie>none </ns1:requiresInitCookie>) - SAP does not call initCookie - no producer cookies are stored on the consumer - each consumer request is being sent without JSESSIONID and is being handled by a NEW session on the producer side (no session held state is used across requests).
