Pasha... Yes, your service can maintain session state for each client. Look in the archives for a thread "stateful web services". Basically, you need to do two things: Put this line in deployment descriptor... <parameter name="scope" value="session"/> Put this line in your client... call.setMaintainSession(true); Stan
