Thanks Johnathan. But HTTP cookies only solve a small part of the problem. If I use SOAP-over-someotherprotocol or if I have intermediaries, the HTTP cookies will be lost. Are there any alternatives to cookies? Is there some SOAP specific way of implementing cookies?
I read today about WS-Addressing and WS-Context but these specification seem not to be ready (at least WS-Context is still a draft version, while WS-Addressing is in submission at the W3C) and on the other hand they seem to make things quite complicated.
