In Apache SOAP, the a SOAPHTTPConnection instance saves the cookies it receives from a response and sends them back in subsequent requests. Therefore, if you re-use a SOAPHTTPConnection instance across multiple calls, those calls will be part of the same session, assuming, of course, that session support is activated on the server and uses cookies.
On the server, you can handle sessions completely transparently by giving services a scope of session. That means an instance of the service is created for each session, which means any state maintained by an instance will be the state for a single session. Alternatively, you can access servlet sessions from your service and store data in those, so that you can give your service a different scope, such as application scope in which a single instance will service all requests.
