An alternative to cookies - which I have used successfully - would be to generate your own UUID and store that in a replicated cache like ehache or TreeCache.
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/util/UUID.html The idea being that on successful login, the uuid is returned and then passed back in on subsequent requests. Its a quick, simple approach. Yet another alternative would be SimpleSessionHandler in axis 1.x and SeviceGroupContext in axis2 .
