Does the webservice EP servlet need to create a HttpSession?

[Jeremy Boynes]

In WebServiceEntryPointServlet:
    private static SessionContext
        getSessionContext(HttpServletRequest httpServletRequest) {
        HttpSession httpSession = httpServletRequest.getSession(true);

This forces a session to be created so that a Axis2 SessionContext
object can be associated with it. Creating a session adds quite a lot of
overhead for a web container especially in distributed configurations.

Is this something that Axis2 requires or is there a way to defer this
until some operation actually requires it?
