NonStop SOAP 4.1 User's Manual

because once a transaction is committed or aborted, a session does not have any meaning, and
does not hold any resources in NonStop SOAP, whereas in previous releases, its context was still
maintained in the Cookie file and needed to be deleted once a session was ended.
Subsessions
Previous releases of NonStop SOAP (NonStop SOAP 3 and earlier) supported a feature called
Subsessions, which was designed to allow the SOAP server to maintain a dialog with a
context-sensitive server class. This feature is no longer supported with NonStop SOAP 4.
The SOAP_COOKIE_DELETION_INTERVAL Parameter
In the previous releases, NonStop SOAP supported the configuration parameter
SOAP_COOKIE_DELETION_INTERVAL, which denotes the minimum time interval between two
automated cookie file cleanup operations. NonStop SOAP performs the automated cookie file
cleanup activity when serving the next SOAP request after the cookie file cleanup interval.
This parameter has been removed in NonStop SOAP 4 because the cookie file is no longer present.
