hi folks,

i'm puzzled by memcache related logs i see and need your advice.
i'm running a java app. i use memcache as a holder of some static variables 
accessed and changed by different modules.
i do it, because as far as i understand such changes will apply to all 
distributed application instances.
the initialization of the memcache is done within an init() method of a 
servlet flagged with <load-on-startup>.
i have a following piece of code there:

if(CacheManager.getInstance().getCache("static_vars") == null)
{
  CacheFactory cacheFactory = CacheManager.getInstance().getCacheFactory();
  Cache cache = cacheFactory.createCache(Collections.emptyMap());
  CacheManager.getInstance().registerCache("static_vars", cache);
  cache.put("var1", 0);
  cache.put("var2", 9302);
.....
}

now, i'm watching the logs and i see two requests arriving within 2 seconds. 
the first one targets an existing instance and everything goes as expected, 
but the second one triggers a creation of new servlet instance that loads 
the cache. i guess it happens because another application instance is 
created. the problem is that i see that in this new instance 
CacheManager.getInstance().getCache("static_vars") == null. the new instance 
does not recognize that a memcache with this name already exists and 
therefore does not use the values that were set there by first instance.

what's my problem here?

thanks in advance.
