Hi there, I've come to the understanding that you can't use "global" objects in Java if you're not doing it with RMI. (haven't looked into that yet) Another way would be to store all "global" variables in the session object, but that would be to duplicate a LOT of data. (out of memory would be a memory for the server administrator... :) )
The scenario I got is that I wish to have global objects for language translations, HTML templates, JavaScript's, CSS etc. There's the way of having it in a database, but then there comes the penalty fee of database connection and constant querying. In my dreams, these objects would be loaded into memory once, and read (since all variables in the global objects would be static/final) by the servlets producing the pages to the users. Has anyone had the same approach? How did you get around this shortcoming of Java? Thanks!
