Hello, I've just created and deployed a simple web service using Axis.
Each time I call the web service, a new instance of the class implementing my web service is created. Is there any way of controlling this behaviour ? I mean, is it possible to have one instance per request (current behaviour), or one instance per server, a pool of instances ... My web service needs to access a database. So, I would like to maintain a persistent connection to the database. I could use a singleton or a static member but it would take some time when processing the first request. Is is possible to tell Axis to pre-load some classes when it starts up to avoid latency with the first request ? Thank you for your help, Tom.
