-------------------------------------------

>From http://www.fawcette.com/javapro/2003_04/online/wsdl_kjones_04_29_03/default_pf.aspx :
There is no standard way of managing session in a Web service, although there are two accepted techniques. The first is to rely on HTTP and use HTTP cookies. The second, and probably the most significant way, is to use SOAP headers. Axis Java lets developers do both.

Using HTTP managed sessions is the default in Axis Java. 
This will cause the Axis framework to generate a set-cookie header:
Set-Cookie: 
JSESSIONID=49EBBB19A1B2F8D10EE075F6F14CB8C9; 
Path=/axissessions

A client needs to return this Cookie in a Cookie header to maintain the session. 
The header looks like this: 
Cookie: 
JSESSIONID=49EBBB19A1B2F8D10EE075F6F14CB8C9
 

Using SOAP headers to carry the session id. 
Axis Java comes with a handler called org.apache.axis.handlers.SimpleSessionHandler that provides SOAP header based session management.
