Hi Philippe, I don't know if Axis creates instances of WS classes when the web services are deployed. Maybe it creates an instance after it receives the first client request. An instance of a WS class may serve one or many client requests.
I guess you want your service to execute some code prior to any client invocation. The proper way to do it is to put a handler in the server's request chain that executes the required code upon the first client call.

Is this possible ? I have not found any clue in the wsdd file documentation Or at the wsdd reference site http://www.osmoticweb.com/axis-wsdd/ philippe
