Is WebService stateless?

Most are stateless (services typically are), but it's always possible to implement state yourself by passing a session ID within your SOAP envelope and manage the state association with a homegrown framework. Also, some products have proprietary support for stateful web services (Axis does, for example).

You mean to say that the maintaining state is not standardized.

Ahem. Yes... That's exactly what I meant to say...
