newbie - web services

[plork123]

Hello

I'm trying to write some web services.

I need the ws to expose a login method passing user credentials. User details are stored in the back-end db.

What would be the best approach to do this ?

I'm using Eclipse, WTP tools and AXIS SOAP

Thanks for any help

As we've tried to tell you, SOAP doesn't work like this. Each request to a SOAP service point is independent of any that have gone before it. You can't 'Log On' as you put it. Each request must carry the authentication info, and the SOAP server will reject it or honour it as the security model sees fit.

You could have a SOAP method which returns user information, but that wouldn't imply any kind of 'session' being begun.
