Hm, I was under the impression java:com/env values better served as static
"constants", good mostly for deployment-time initializations. If you want
to communicate values amongst beans during runtime, perhaps JMS, MessageBean
or a db table for your GlobalProperties will suit you better?

Subject: java:comp/env context
I'd like to make a GlobalProperties stateless session bean. This session
bean
would make some global settings available for all the other components, and
these settings could be modified at runtime. The kind of properties I'd like
to
put there is, for example, a logging level.
The simplest thing to do is to use the java:comp/env naming context of this
bean
to store the properties. This will obviously work for read-only properties.
But
can I be sure that the bean will be able to bind or rebind some values in
this
context? And if it is able to do it, can I be sure that all the other
instances
of the bean will automatically see these new values, or is the container
allowed
to give each instance its own copy of the settings?
I tried it with IAS, and it seems to work well, but I wonder about other
servers.
Thanks.
JB.
