You want to maintain a session, for example log on
only once? The way that is most documented requires
EJB and Stateful session beans - every app server
supports it and has plenty of docs showing how. I do
it via JBoss, returning a SOAP session id on login and
passing that back in on subsequent requests. It can
expire and works similair to cookies in this context.
Note that JBoss uses Axis as its internal SOAP engine,
and in this case I use JWSDP style SOAP complex
objects, wscompile etc. the Clients are Java via a
Hybrid Axis/JWSDP (Axis deserialization)
implementation, Flash and Delphi. A pure Axis
implementation would would work fine too.
As for a pure HTTP Session solution, the question pops
up frequently yet I've yet to see it done - although I
am interested.
