I have a web service with 3 methods: Login, Tasks and Logout.

Login() stores user\_id in session, Tasks() and Logout() checks user  
access level and throw exception on error.  
XMLRPC::Client works fine, but SOAP::WSDLDriverFactory does not store  
session cookies.  
How I can enable this feature for SOAP?

You need to install http-access2 and set cookie file to a driver.

driver = …  
driver.options[“protocol.http.cookie\_store\_file”] = “cookie.file”  
driver.web\_services\_method(…)
