Bruno,

Thanks for the advice. However I now have a question.

How do I get a contextFragment from the SessionManager Object in javascript.
Normally I would use the ServiceManager to get a handle to the
SessionManager?

We store session information needed for the SOAP call in a contextFragment.

Joe
