Oops, forgot to clarify Jerry: Any access to a java.util.Hashtable is synchronized, so using it as a static repository for shared in-memory data should be safe and fast. Also, the class definition for any objects that are stored in this Hashtable should be loaded from the same (shared) classloader as the class containing the hashtable itself. So the utility class plus shared object classes should be contained in the same JAR and dropped in the shared library folder (or whatever you have to do to get the container to load this classes as shared).
