I would preload system data to ServletContext for later use during system up. Then i will get those data in the Session Bean (both stateful and stateless). I use following code to retrieve Context context = Contexts.getApplicationContext(); But, context is NULL. Is there anything that i need to take care when i use getApplicationContext()? or are there other ways to achieve same goal? Thanks.
