What do you mean by "serialize the handle of the session bean ". Are you
serializing to a file or database, or whatever. If you do not have to store
state in this shared bean you could use a stateless session bean (service
like). If you have to have some state then some options are:
1. Use a Stateless Session Bean that stores its state using an entity bean.
2. Use a Stateless Session Bean that stores its state using JDBC/SQL
3. Use an Entity Bean.
Using a stateless session bean involves taking care of the fact that your
are not truly a singleton, you could have multiple instances of the bean
within and across an ejb containers. We could probably be of more help if
you could provide more information of the usage of this shared bean.
