I would be even lazier (pun intended): record the last-accessed-time of the data in the Context as well, and perform a re-fetch whenever that time is too old (or missing entirely). That avoids the headache of managing another thread on the server (how many questions do we get about still-running threads on app shutdown?) and does not refresh the values from the database unless they are actually requested by code (and therefore doesn't do speculative fetches that might not be required at all). - -chris -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAkzO1hcACgkQ9CaO5/Lv0PBuKQCePhvYb/rpMHOdUbNRdnJXu6Ud aWEAn0F8AZcBVBw7KtKkwtGzluualYS6 =ur/V -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
