This is very interesting. Which SDK implementation did you see this behavour? The single reference to the DAO is actually inside the DAOFactory not the DAO itself (hence it is not a traditional Singleton) so hopefully this will prevent the scenerio of it being GC'd. Or will I have to go further and reference it inside a Struts context as well? (Eg use the Struts plugin mechanism).
