Web Service Thread Safety

With a servlet multiple threads can access the service() method of a servlet, so you shouldn't read/write field level variables in a servlet object.

What are the threading assumptions with a web service object? Is it 1 thread per client request? Can I safely declare field-level resources in the Object with web service methods, such as PersistenceContext, UserTransaction, DataSource, etc? Thanks for your reply.
