ie You "activate" object prior to use and then when it is done with for now you passivate it. ie As things come out of pool they are activated and as they go back in they are passivated. (Thats taken a little liberty with explanation but you get the general idea). For stateful objects in the above frameworks you persist the state prior to passivating and then reload it prior to coming back alive. If you are seriously thinking about going down that path I would recomend you use standard java persistence mechanisms for persisting part. Before you attempt this I would very veyr very very seriously consider whether you need it or not.
