I think that JavaSpaces is the best fit for this purpose. We had developed something similar for sharing client session between multiple servers. You can find more details about it in the following url: http://www.gigaspaces.com/docs/experimental/docs/GigaSpaces-extensions.htm#_ Session_Space
In your case I think that a space provide a very effective solution since it can store its information in memory ( or in db dependent on the space configuration ). Clients can access the space and retrieve this information from anywhere. The space unlike a db does not require to know in advance the information it stores and the object level api abstract the access to the undeling persistent mechanism ( if a persitent pace is used ). Your scenario would simply look as simple as this. Client A: space.write( Object( ) , transaction ( can be null ) , lease ( the amount of time this iformation would be stored within the space ) ); Clinet B: space.take( Template( A template is a filter object used to identify which entry it needs ) , transaction , timeout ). You can find more information on this technology on www.sun.com/jini and on our web site www.gigaspaces.com Regards Nati S. -----Original Message----- From: A mailing list for Enterprise JavaBeans development [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Anatole Kulick Sent: Monday, January 28, 2002 6:54 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: How to share data between clients? Hi all, How to share a data between clients using EJB's? Say every time clients access SLSB counter increased by 1. Where can I store this counter?
