Web Service stubs and cookies

Hello All, and sorry for cross-posting! Not sure where this fits in...

I've generated some web service client stubs from a WSDL using
jwsdp-1.5 (jax-rpc). So far so good. However, the server application
that I'm calling, uses a cookie to identify which "session" a
particular web service call refers to.

The nice people at the Big Server Company have written a VB.NET
example that shows how to set the cookie in the HTTP POST that is the
result of a call to one of the stub functions. They do something like
this:

myStubClassObject.CookieContainer.SetCookies(uri, cookie)

I would like to do this in Java, but I can't find anything in Sun's
base classes that comes even close to this.

If this is not possible in Sun Java, how can I work around it? I guess
I would have to create my own HttpURLConnection and generate the web
service call myself... but that kind of defeats the idea of a stub
class, doesn't it?

Any ideas appreciated!

Have you thought about using Axis instead of jwsdp? You can definitely do
this kind of thing with Axis (using SOAPHTTPConnection I think)
http://ws.apache.org/axis/

Good luck
