Maintaining Object state in XML WS problem.

[Martin]

Hi All,
I am writing a WS to Web-enable a 3-rd party .Net custome object(myObj),
which does three things:

1. Make a socket connection to Server - myObj.open()
2. Send a msg to the Server - myObj.send()
3. Close socket connection - myObj.close()

Because of some reasons I have to do these three action in 3 different
webMethod(openC onnectionWS();s endMsgWS();clos eConnectionWS() ), therefore, I
will have to presist the myObj throughout the application lifecycle untill
someone call the myObj.close() (in closeConnection WS() webmethod);

I have tried to do Application("my Session",myObj) ; to presiste myObj across
the WebServices after i called the openConnectionW S() webmethod. However,
when I tried to make a call to myObj.sendMsg() in sendMsgWS() webmethod after
getting myObj back from Application["mySession"], the socket connection seems
to have dropped but everything else like myObj.username and
myObj.password. ..etc still presisted(I am sure because I can still get all my
value from the watch windows in the VS.NET debugger.

Does anyone see anything wrong here?
Is there any special thing i need to handle in presisting an object in WS?

Please kindly advise.
