Advice about multi-service WS wanted

[Jeff Greif <jg...@alumni.princeton.edu>]

I currently have a SOAP rpc over Http web service using Axis in Tomcat.  The object (called Dispatcher) implementing the service communicates with other back end processes.  

There now needs to be a pure HTTP service (using GET with query strings on the URL) which would ideally be handled by the same Dispatcher object which will mediate between it and an important back end object.  Is this possible?  The Dispatcher object has application scope, if that makes any difference.  Is it possible to do this without having the pure Http service described in the same wsdl file as the rpc service?

If it's not possible to handle both these services in the same object, is it possible for two servlets or two Axis service objects to share some object (like a wrapper for a single connection to the back end)?  (Maybe this is more of a Tomcat or servlet question?)
