More directly related to the subject of this message, Apache SOAP opens a
new connection for each request. There is no provision for maintaining a
connection between calls. As to whether it will be supported, I suggest you
check out Axis (http://xml.apache.org/axis/), which will replace Apache
SOAP.

Subject: Soap4J and HTTP 1.1 Keep-Alive/Persistent support
> Hi,
>
> If this topic is already discussed, please point me the message thread.
> I am trying to use the SOAP4J and take advantage of HTTP 1.1 's keep-alive
> functionality. I am interested in doing this to avoid creating a socket
> every time and use the same connection to make multiple requests one after
> the other.
>
> I have tried to use the latest SOAP implementation and found that the HTTP
> response header has Transfer-Encoding: chunked which adds the
content-length
> as part of the body of the message. Because of this extra content-length
in
> the body of the message, the parser throws exception.

> Is there a plan to handle this chunked encoding and extract the message
