Hi Antonio, > - Extract the component into a separate JVM, and connect to it via socket.
This is what I'd do, but I'd also write a client class to get access. I suppose you could use RMI or something, but I'm not familiar with that. Whatever you're comfortable with, I guess. You could also spin off this class in it's own thread inside one of your classloaders. That way it would shutdown and start up with the server (or maybe that's a drawback...) and you wouldn't have to add the overhead of another VM. > - Extract the component into another context, and connect to it via HTTP. > yuck. This isn't for locking or something is it? I get the feeling you're trying to use a class for storing or accessing something the way most people use a database...
