[X] - Don't switch on sessions by default Well, I'm not an Axis developer, but makeing web services "statefull" (session aware) by default is IMO not a good idea. If some web services need "session" it should be done deliberatly because the system must take care of the session data.
Just think about scaleability (load sharing) of webservices on different servers using IP load balancers. If a service needs some state (session data) this state must be replicated to all servers by some means, otherwise you can't perform load sharing. Such a thing has to be designed, your overall solution must be aware of it etc etc. So: keep the default as simple as possible, i.e. without sessions.
