In case of session scope, each session has its own instance of the service class independently of which thread invokes the exposed methods. I suppose that the servlet engine starts a new thread for each request, at least MessageContext.getCurrentContext() works in such manner. In case of application scope, for example, each request is handled by the same class instance. Take a look at org\apache\axis\providers\java\JavaProvider.java. Regards.
