Sorry for the newbie question...
In the business methods in my stateless session beans I've always done what
seems like the usual pattern - lookup and narrow entity bean home
interfaces in the method that uses them. However, to save some time, I'd
like to do these lookups in the SLSB's ejbCreate method and save them in
instance variables.
I've rtfm, along with RMH, and can't see a reason why this wouldn't work,
both with Orion and portably. Have I missed something?
Better yet, can these be put into a class field and only looked once,
rather than every bean instance. For example
private static BeanHome beanhome = null;
...
ejbCreate()
{
...
if(beanhome == null)
{
beanhome = (lookup/narrow beanhome... )
}
...
}
Thanks!
