cache objects in EJB session bean layer

[javatwo]

how to cache objects in EBJ session bean layer? application scope. when the application is undeployed, the cached objects should be destroyed automatically. Thanks.

It is a bad idea to cache objects in a stateless session bean as stateless beans are pooled. Try using @Service beans for that. THey are JBoss specific, but they are singleton instances that hook into lifecycle.

I like to cache an object outside session beans, like application context. Is there anything like that? Thanks
