Hi,

Weblogic provides a facility of workpaces, which is a memory area where
objects can be stored...
you can create a named worspaces which can be there across multiple client
sessions.. you can also have monitors on the workspaces for updates,
removes.. etc. The stateless bean can retrieve the data & kept in a
workspace which can be used for subsequent requests...

You can get more information on workspaces at:
 www.weblogic.com/docs45/classdocs/API_workspace.html
