Ok, thank you very much. This allows to control the lifetime of the WS implementing class. That was exactly what I was looking for. I knew this option was available with Apache SOAP v2.2 but I didn't find any documentation for Axis.
Btw, does anybody knows of any additional parameter to ask Axis to load the class before it is used. I'm thinking something similar to the init method + load-on-startup option of servlets. Thanks, Tom.
