title: Can we make Restful webservice stateful
body: <p>I have been reading about about Restful webservices being Stateless.
  I can also see that most of Soap based webservices are also stateless and can be made stateful if needed and making them stateful will depend on implementation.
   So if a soap based webservice is stateful then a session id will passed with every request, to continue with session.</p>
  
  <p>My query is why can't same be done with Restful webservices, I think i should be able implement a webservice which can continue with same session where session id is passed by Restful webservice making is Stateful.</p>
  
  <p>So my question is, Are RestFul webservices just a concept with a guideline not to make them stateful? or there will be checks in Restful webservice libraries [like Jersey ] to stop people from doing so?</p>
