With a Web Service, successive requests can be handled by any member of the Services Pool, that is any fglrun process that has been started to service those web service requests.  Web Service code should therefore be stateless so that each request is independent of other requests.  This means you should not have any modular or global variable influencing the result, and you should have no sequential or scrollable cursors left open after each request.
 
What if you wanted a web service to return one row of the database cursor to a calling program, the user in the calling program then clicks something like Next , and to then call the same web service returning the next row from the database cursor?  If it is a scrollable cursor you might want to allow the user to click something like Previous and fetch the previous row from the database cursor.  This means you need the same fglrun process and database cursor to be called by consecutive requests.
 
By adding an attribute (mode=”sticky”) to a web service .xcf, we can signify that the web service is a Sticky Web Service.
