Can an instance of EJB3 stateless session bean local proxy received from context.lookup() be used from multiple threads? For example, I have a utility function that can be called from multiple threads and that has to access stateless session bean. Should it be implemented like this: 1. public class Util { private static ConfigurationEjb conf = context.lookup(...) public static func() { conf.getValue()........ } } or like this: 2. public class Util { public static func() { ConfigurationEjb conf = context.lookup(...) //is this expensive??? conf.getValue()........ } } View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4185818#...
