Moving from standalone servlet to Axis

[John Smith <jo...@msn.com>]

I am trying to move a Webservice written using a standalone servlet to axis 
using java:Msg handler messaging so that i run it inside axis.

The problem that i am facing is with ServletLifecycle and serviceLifeCycle.

for the Servlet init and destroy are called at start and end of servlet 
life.

But for a Service (javax.xml.rpc.server.ServiceLifecycle) it is called for 
each and every request.

As a result, i am not able to move intialization and destroy blocks.  I used 
to intialize some resources like connection pools in init of servlet and 
destroy at the end.

Since the destroy is being called again and again for Webservice, hence i 
endup destroying them for each request.

Is there a way so that service is intialized and destroyed only once.
