I have a servlet talking to a Sessionbean. Is it allowed -regarding threadsafeness - to obtain the manager in the servlets init() method and store it in an instance-membervariable of the servlet. public class LzServlet extends HttpServlet { | | MandantenManager mm =null; | | public void init(ServletConfig config) | { | try | { InitialContext ctx = new InitialContext(); | mm = (MandantenManager) ctx.lookup("BBCS/MandantenManagerBean/remote"); | } | catch (Exception e) | { e.printStackTrace(); } | } | If it is not allowed, is there a performant way to solve the problem, without creating an initialContext in every call of the servelet. Is getting the initialcontext and the lookup an "expensive" operation? View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=3993789#...
