I have a table with a large number of very static records that I'd prefer to store once when the application starts and have every user reference rather than hitting the database. What is the best/nicest way to achieve this? The obvious contenders so far: 1. Application scoped Bean that I load using @Startup. 2. JBoss Cache Can anyone recommend one approach over the other or suggest an alternative? Thanks, Damian. View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4099385#...
