Actually, you need to be very careful about using Singletons in the J2EE application.
1. Since you are restricted to use static fields in your EJB, you may need to find other ways to stimulate the Sigleton pattern. One of the recommanded way is via JNDI according to Ed Roman's book. In addition, I had experience on using Sigleton pattern in my servlet to cached the reference on my RMI server in WebLogic web server environment which cause "..not in object table" exception everytime my RMI server happended to reset. 2. Clustering is indeed a valid architecture concern which often get ignored or postponded in the latter stage of the application design. When we talk about clustering, there are separate aspect need to take into consideration: http request/http session and ejb clustering which implies JVM afinities issues. I would really like to hear from people with experience to give us some pointers or use this as start point to discuss different design issues, consideration, or best practice on this topic. --- "Christian Bollmeyer (GMX)" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Am Samstag, 18.
