httpsession with apache soap

Hi,

 

I am using Apache Soap 2.3.1 on the 'server' side to receive soap
requests and respond. I want to validate the client requests using the
concept of session. I am using message style. So, all I have in the soap
method are Envelope, SOAPContext, SOAPContext objects. The soap client
is in C++, and HTML (not Java). 

 

Is it possible to retrieve HttpSession and use this to validate the
session of the client request? AND/OR is it possible to use the concept
of jsession? Are there any other ways to use the concept os session
validation (other than my own usage of database to store and validate
session - this would be the last option).

 

Thanks,

 

Pramodh.
