This is a really bad idea because of the implementation of StringBuffer.toString() and setLength().

Hi! I was just working on a little project of mine when a thought sprang to my mind... In my servlets I often have to assemble Strings like SQL statements and the like. I use StringBuffers for this as they offer much better performance than concat. Now I was wondering: would it make any sense at all to get my StringBuffers from a pool by using JNDI instead of having each servlet create new ones? I am not sure of the runtime cost involved in JNDI lookups. Any thoughts?
