Hi, I'm building an application that uses some configuration data in database tables. My servlet/jsps will use this data to populate drop-down lists, radio button etc.
I'm trying to avoid making a database connection everytime a user visits a page with config data. My goal is to load all config data from the database when the application comes up (tomcat), then reference the config data through some method without having to make db calls... (I'm planning on use connection pooling to avoid the cost of creating new connections) What is the most efficient way of binding this configuration data to an application? and is this possible? I'd also like to have an "admin" page where an administrator can change the config, and have the changes show up on my drop-down lists immediately. I'd like to do it without bouncing tomcat if possible. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Peter __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? The New Yahoo!
