State info in EJB JMS??

[Eddie]

Ok... I have my JMS EJB up and running now. It's a log3j wrapper to add extra functionality. However I want to store some  information that has to be quickly available and I don't want to use a database for it. Any advice on how I should do this ??   For example: When an application sends a log message, I will log the message and send an SMS, if required. However if the same requests will appear again after a minute or so, because the problem hasn't been solved yet, I don't want another SMS to be send. So I need tot rember this, but how can I do this ???   That is: a JMS EJB, is stateless and will call ejbRemove() after processing the sms, so where should I store this information ??   Some advice please, before I "invent" some weird solution ;)     Eddie
