Capabilities of web service client

[Ravi Danum]

Hello,

I have created a web service client using wsimport.  I have two questions:

1)  Can I create 2 ports and call web service methods concurrently?  (I don't see anything in the generated code that prohibits this.)

2)  How long can I keep a port open?  For example, how many web service methods can I call on a give port instance?  The port instance is created as follows:  

MyAppService service = new MyAppService();

MyApp port = service.getMyAppSoap11( <various features> );

Many thanks for any help you can give.

Hello All,

I have looked into this and have found that often the web service proxy is cached and reused.

The important point is whether the web service proxy is thread safe or not.  The JAX-WS implementation that is included in the JDK starting with Java 6 has a proxy that is not thread safe.  The web service proxy in CXF is thread safe.

Since I have written my code using the JAX-WS implementation in JDK (java 8), I plan to create a small pool of proxies (2-3 objects).

Any comments to this method are welcome.
