If it is configuration information that is important to the whole application, I personally would probably read it in once and store it as session variables. This will also prevent problems if someone modifies the configuration file while the application is open. If you read the configuration each time you need the information, you could end up with half your application variables being before the change and the other half after. Better to take a snapshot.

When should I read in the data stored in the xml-file? At every query the data is needed or once when the application is started for the first time and at every restart of the container? When using the second possibility where to store the data inside the application after the data were read in? The data I want to read in is basicly configuration data, which is important for the whole application!
