You might have different Singletons within the same JVM, because it depends to the classloader scope. Example: you deploy a Singleton-Class in a JAR which is included in different EARs or WARs, in this case it depends to the classloader settings whether you have one or more instances. -------------------------------------------------------------- Reply to this message by going to Community [http://community.jboss.org/message/628362#628362] Start a new discussion in Beginner's Corner at Community [http://community.jboss.org/choose-container!input.jspa?contentType=1&...]
