Hi I think you might be using RPC style service, I suggest you use Document style service with the signature :
public void getDetail(SOAPEnvelope req, SOAPEnvelope resp) Then you will be able to get the headers along with the whole SOAP envelope and use it the way you want ...

How do I then, take that sessionID in response from the login method of one service and put it into the request header of say getPerson from the person service. I can't for the life of me figure out how to 1) get the sessionID from the header on the Axis client and 2) get the sessionID back into the Axis client's request header. I did this in PHP with a nuSOAP client easily because it has a method for getting and setting header tags.
