Hi,
I have a web service which is running under the Tomcat container. Tomcat creates a new instance of this web service with each incoming simultaneous connection. The problem I am having, is that my web service calls a hardware device which can only handle one query at a time. If I have 5 instances of my web service all querying it at the same time, it hangs. I need to implement some sort of serialization such that only one request is processed from each instance at a time. Is it possible to serialize between service instances, which have been created by tomcat? Is there some external library to tomcat shared memory object which will allow me to do this? I have had a look around the web, but I'm not really sure where to start. I've come across messaging solutions, but all these seem to be targeted towards serialization between services located on completely different tomcat instances (JMS).
Cheers

Tom
