Thanks to everyone for the tips and good advice in the thread, "how to implement sessions, persistent objects, etc. ?". I've got an example message-based stateful service that I figured might be of interest to people. It's application scoped and keeps track of session data via SOAP headers rather than via cookies. You can download the source at http://www.public.iastate.edu/~andrewv/axis.zip, or browse at http://www.public.iastate.edu/~andrewv/axis/
It takes some configuration (detailed in readme.html), and the Oracle-specific stuff may not be useful to you, but I left some database code in so it's a somewhat relevant example. (Hopefully I got all the sensitive info filtered out.) And no, it's not elegant, robust, or well documented, but it works, and I'll probably update it when my real project is farther along. Andrew
