Firstly I don't think there is only one instance of a servlet for all calls to a web context. The reason all member variables are static is because it does create several servlets. With Servlets you do have to deal with mulitple threading issues.
Second, MessageContext.getCurrentContext does correspond to the current request. Just what I've found, I may be wrong. -Wes > Two questions: > 1) Like servlets, is there exactly one instance of the service I've > exposed via axis? 2) If so, can I operate under the assumption that > MessageContext.getCurrentContext() directly correlates to the current > request?
