I don't think the code Barry sent would get you the sessionID anyway, since
the Session object that getSession() returns is an
org.apache.axis.session.Session, which has no method for retrieving a
sessionID.
You want something like this:
MessageContext msgC = MessageContext.getCurrentContext();
String sessionID =
msgC.getProperty(HTTPConstants.MC_HTTP_SERVLETREQUEST).getSession().getId();
for future reference, the MessageContext is where the Axis developers dump
most stuff you'd want to get at; it has some specific "get" methods as well
as the generic getProperty. HTTPConstants has a list of HTTP Constants
that are used to refer to various HTTP-specific variables you may want to
get at. You might want to take a look at these classes in the API docs;
they can answer a lot of your questions.
