Hi, I need to open and close a database connection (to a BerkeleyDB JE) in my Web service. I don't want every request to open and close the database environment, because most likely I'll run into synchronization problems (one thread might close some other's database).
Is there an object I can get access to, that will run once at initialization (say, the first request ever) and once at server shutdown? I was pointed to Servlet.init() & destroy(), if that's the case, how can I get hold of it in Axis? Thanks in advance, Ivan.
