I am developing a POJO SEI deployed as WAR to JBoss 4.0.5, JBossWS 2.0.1.GA. I am unsure how I would initialize resources such as JMS connections on deployment and how to clean them up on undeployment. I looked at ServiceLifecycle, but since the init() and destroy() methods are called for each webservice call, it does not seem to be a good idea to perform expensive operations in them. Would it make more sense to implement the webservice as EJB3 SLSB? Can someone give me some advice?
