session management?

Is it possible to have user sessions using Axis or is it a request-response-only
model. My end user wants to:

1. log on via some soap service
2. call some methods
3. log out.

Is this possible and if so how can I access the session object so I know that they
have logged on, keep state info, etc.

Thanks ahead of time.

I am with you -- every non-trivial (web) app requires session management.

And just as servlets have added HttpSession on top of the stateless
HTTP, *something* should be added on top of SOAP (SoapSession?).

Note that this is *not* addressed by the current JAX-RPC spec.
But perhaps in Axis? (I'm also interested...)
