The Singleton pattern may be useful if the object will be shared across sessions.

Hi, I'd like to load up an global application object (say reference it from the ServletContext somehow) with a collection of data objects I wish to render on my JSP. What might be a strategy for doing this? Do I have to use another servlet just to load my global object? Ideally I only want the code to run once, and then the data will be available via regular methods, like [GlobalClassInstance].getCollectionOfPersonObjects()... The data will be pulled from the database with a simple SELECT statement. Any advice is appreciated... __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Try FREE Yahoo!
