My question is, how can I initialize Categories and Proterties, using a XML file or a properties file and be sure that those will be accessible as well to the client side as to the server side.   Initialization on the client side can be done in the servlet when my web-application start but for the EJB part I don't know what I will access first.   Thanks for your help, Thierry Thierry Cools   Senior Java Developer S1 Brussels Kleine Kloosterstraat, 23 1932 st.
