Re: [JBoss-user] Should I cache ejbRefs?

[Lawrence Mount]

I think they are talking about the EJBHomeFactory pattern as shown at http://java.sun.com/blueprints/patterns/ServiceLocator.html Brian McSweeney wrote: Hi all, my app is fronended with struts, using local beans.The local beans use stateless session facades asa frontend. In a book discussing struts there is a chapter onusing entity beans which describes how it is a goodidea to cache the ejb refs in application scope.The idea is, that it takes alot of time to create theJNDI initial context etc. They suggest using a ServletContextListener tocache the ejb refs to the stateless session beansonce the application starts up. Anyone have any opinions on this? cheers,Brian -- ************************************************************************** This message is intended for the named recipient only and is confidential and no other person can place any reliance upon it.
