Another option would be to read them from the db once, at system startup, and then keep them static from there. You're still hitting your db, but not on an ongoing basis. On 1/13/2014 9:02 AM, Ray Holme wrote: Oh, I missed one comment from Daniel before (embedded and I did not see on the

I have (in the past) dealt with transient so OK, makes sense. Not familiar with "putting in container" to shield from Apache serialization. Will look for writeup. Thanks. On Monday, January 13, 2014 10:12 AM, Johan Compagner wrote: >IS THERE A WAY TO STOP WARNINGS AND TELL TOMCAT NOT TO
