Re: JOnAS/EasyBeans EJB Pool configurable?

    Hi Hans,

Yes, pool is configurable with XML or annotations
Examples here : 
http://websvn.ow2.org/listing.php?repname=easybeans&path=%2Ftrunk%2Feasybeans%2Fexamples%2Fpool%2F

And the other good news is that you can try EJB 3.1 Singleton feature 
which is partially implemented in JOnAS 5.2 (but for your usage, that's 
should be ok)
Example here : 
http://websvn.ow2.org/listing.php?repname=easybeans&path=%2Ftrunk%2Feasybeans%2Fexamples%2Fsingleton%2F

Regards,

Florent
