It depends. Look in the user guide for 'scope'. This has 3 values
(something like 'request', 'session' and 'application'). The first
indicates that the object carrying out the request has the same lifetime
as the request in the server. The second indicates the lifetime extends
over the session. The third indicates that the object has a lifetime
extending from first use (or preloading at Tomcat startup) to Tomcat
shutdown or undeployment, whichever comes first. You set the scope in
the deployment configuration for your service.

My web service is just one class.
When I start up Tomcat, does an instance of my MyService
get created and just stay there, instantiated, between
uses of the service, as long as Tomcat is running? Or,
for each (remote) call to one of its instance methods, does
an instance get created, the method called, and the object
destroyed?
Is this what's alluded to in the wiki page:

?
