We should support the JAX-WS way of creating stateful web services base on WS Addressing. May be just create "Make Service Stateful" action that converts Web Service to stateful web service with adequate modifications, or create a Stateful Service wizard: This is an idea what can this action/wizard do (suppose we have HelloService web service) Server side : - add @Stateful annotation - add id field - and non default constructor (with id parameter) - add StatefulWebServiceManager manager field - create a "Factory" web service with getReference(id) method to obtain EndpointReference object used to get HelloService port for given id Client side (Stateful service client): - Enable to specify wsdl file for web service and wsdl file for Factory service. - generate JAX-WS artifacts for both services - in D&D action genarate sample code that will use Factory Service to obtain the (Hello)Service port instance (for given ID). - then the selected WS operation will be invoked on that port instance.
