MBean instead using EntityBean?

Greetings,

this may be stupid, but since I haven't any experience with mbeans I
would like to ask.

Q: Can I create a MBean to overlap the functionality of an entity bean
for the following purpose:

-monitoring client connections:
when a client access the system, login to the entity bean, and logout
after job is done, limiting the connections for the type of service and
client -> this is information is in the entity bean

Why I intend to move from the entity bean?
-slow and requires connections to database; when server goes down, I
don't need to persist the connections ~ it must be 0).

Another approaches:
-stateful session bean -> no shareable for multiple clients
-stored procedure -> still requires database, and no improvement of
performance.

must guarantee:
-work in cluster, if the server instance of mbean is goes down, the
mbean must go to other instance retaining all the information.

regards,
Pedro Salazar.
