You betcha.

<service name="name" provider="{provider}">
  <parameter name="scope" value="{request/session/application}"/>
  ...
</service>

"request" will get you a new object each request.  "application" uses a singleton 
(which should be thread-safe).  "session" uses either HTTP sessions or SOAP headers to 
get an object per connection with timeouts.

The more general problem of lacking good WSDD documentation is still on the todo list 
- there's some in the user's guide, but it's gotten a bit out of sync with the 
code/schema.  I'll try to push this towards the top of my list (or find another 
volunteer :)) sometime soon.
