I can't speak to IIS, but Tomcat (like any implementation of the JSDK spec) is multithreaded and will spawn a new thread in the SOAP rpcrouter servlet to handle each web service request. If your service is deployed with application scope then just one instance of the service class will be loaded and used by each thread. I have several application scope web services deployed on Tomcat in production that work this way.
