I have written a web service consume application in jbossws that invokes web services running in gSOAP/C++. Client server model is:- [jbossws based client]------------>[gSOAP based server] After the web service consumption complete, client sends socket disconnect and connection goes away. I want underlying TCP socket connection to persist forever. How can we achieve this? Is there any configuration at jbossws side? I am using jboss 4.2.3, in this HTTP1.1 automatically using keep-alive. Any hint is highly appreciated.
