Abstract
Techniques are disclosed for sharing communication session information sharing in web service applications. The techniques include management of concurrent sessions by dynamically determining the session association of web service requests at runtime. These sessions can be shared by a group of web services on the server side, and across multiple web services clients with many users, independently of where these applications reside. Session identifiers are determined for these concurrent web service invocations based on an algorithm that uses information from configuration and runtime data. Different information is used in the session identifier depending on configuration parameters to provide different types of sharing that correspond to different use cases. This mechanism can be used with SOAP-based web services, REST-based web services, and the like.
