[SPT/CWIS] Axis Database Issue

[Justin Slauson]

In order to have access to the $User object and methods site-wide  
outside of just the CWIS pages (to display login information and  
restrict certain parts to certain users) I include the following line  
in all my scripts:
include_once('/home/cause/WWW/cwis/include/SPT--Common.php');

However, I get
SQL Statement: SELECT * FROM APSessions WHERE SessionId = '517898140'
SQL Error: Table 'cause.APSessions' doesn't exist
on any page where I open a database connection.  It appears that the  
Axis engine is trying to use our database (`cause`) instead of the one  
for CWIS.  This happens even though I close my connection when  
finished, and Axis should have it's own link resource anyway.

Am I doing something wrong, or is there a bug in the Axis engine which  
assumes there will only be one database connection open and is trying  
to use my previous one?

Thanks for any help you can provide,
