Ok, OK, you've convinced me ;) I will look into using the container connection management to find me the right connection when I need it. The reason I never considered transaction stickiness is that I am unsure whether using a transaction to demarcate a long-lasting-over-serveral-requests session is good form or not. Think of a telnet session here. Is it acceptable to use a tranasction to demaracate user activity from logon to logoff? That is the situation I effectively have.
