how to make sure my client remote invoke ejb stable and fast

[sh1theng]

I have a socketserver to recevie datagram,and than invoke ejb to process.

should I init a context each time when I recevie a datagram?

or lookup a ejb class and keep it(after several invoking  it catch no EJB recevie)?

or invoke a useless method to make sure the conn is fine before process?

is there any suggestion?

when init context,when lookup

Creating a new connection every time sounds a bit excessive. Use it while it works, for failures, do a couple of reconnect-tries and then fail as gracefully as possible.
