Yes NaHi, the day after I posted this query to the ML I did standalone soap 
services and they worked 100% of the time. So the problem must be with 
WEBrick and/or the soaplet? Guy N. Hurst and I where talking on IRC and your 
#2 possibility came up as a possible reason.

My current solution is to have separate standalone services instead of useing 
the soaplet idea. The thing I liked about the soaplet idea was that it was a 
single point of contact with the clients, but with a different namespace 
provided.

Thanks for sharing your insights.
