title: Axis Web Service Keep Alive
body: <p>I have an axis web service running in Tomcat. Clients are making connections without sending a Connection: close header in HTTP 1.1 which means that the default is Keep-Alive. Unfortunately the client seems to be having a problem and when it gets an exception the client is not closing the connection. Since these clients are sending lots of traffic in batch jobs this quickly eats up all my connections. I want to force my web service to close each connection as soon as a particular Handler (extends BasicHandler) completes.</p>
  
  <p>How do I do this? I.e. how do I force the server to close a connection after calling BasicHandler#invoke()?</p>
