I am writing a prototype application and have system data to store (i.e. next customer number.) Right now I have it setup as a 1 row entry in a database table - but I don't like this approach - concerned that live application will generate double "hits" on the database. But I need to make sure that the system values are updated correctly - always available. In the case of the next customer number, I need to make sure that the ID is only updated/accessed once. Would it be better/faster/less resource intensive to store/update information in a bean? Is there any situation where the bean would lose its value?
