Object creation as pertains to Web Services in Websphere...

[Mike Burdette <Mike.Burdette@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi:

We are developing a Java based web service in Rational 6.0.1 to be 
deployed in WAS 6.0. The web service is being used by a .Net front end to 
fetch as well as update data on the iSeries.

We notice that when deployed to WAS 6.0 on the iSeries, the constructor 
for the Java object that provides the Web Service is called each time the 
web service is called. We would like to provide some initialization 
instructions that would persist between calls to the web service, but it 
slows our response when the object is created for each request. (The 
object is created only once when using the Websphere Test Environment.)

Any thoughts on how to do this?

Thanks
