Sessions with web services

[Joshua Ellul]

Hi There,

Could someone tell me how to implement sessions in web services?

I am using the EnableSession property (set to true)... however, the session
is not being maintained... is there something I am missing? Perhaps setting
a session time out? The client of the web service is an asp.net web form.

Thanks,

Josh

To maintain session state:

WebMethodAttribute.EnableSession Property
Indicates whether session state is enabled for an XML Web service method.

Did you follow following example (see url also)?
<%@ WebService Language="C#" Class="Util" %>

using System.Web.Services;

public class Util: WebService {
[ WebMethod(Description="Per session Hit Counter",EnableSession=true)]
public int SessionHitCounter() {
if (Session["HitCounter"] == null) {
Session["HitCounter"] = 1;
}
else {
Session["HitCounter"] = ((int) Session["HitCounter"]) + 1;
}
return ((int) Session["HitCounter"]);
}
}
