I probably do not know the breadth of implementations folks have used to address this, but here are a couple of thoughts.
1. If the service is given a scope of "session" in the deployment descriptor, then an instance of the service class is created for each session that uses it. It will be freed along with other session resources by the container when the session is terminated. Thus, if one uses, say, a new database connection for each session, that connection is freed as well, assuming it is in an instance variable of the class. 2. Rather than create resources per-session, pool them and get/release for each method invocation. This is what I tend to do. Containers and/or JDBC 2.0 implementations help with this for database connections.
