Instead of making it a singleton you may want to instead create the object normally and then place it in the ServletContext so that all servlets/jsps/etc in same web app can access it via looking it up in that. So you would havce something like MyComponent comp = ...; getServletContext().setAttribute( MyComponent.ROLE, comp ); and everywhere you need to use it do something like MyComponent comp = (MyComponent)getServletContext().getAttribute( MyComponent.ROLE ); This seems to be the "J2EE" way - whatever that means ;) That way it easy to add new services to the web application - just add a new servlet that creates a new componenet and retrieve the components from the ServletContext. -- Cheers, Pete ---------------------------------------------------------- Which is worse: Ignorance or Apathy?
