[JBoss-user] Session Bean calling in application/servlets

[Chris C. <ck...@id...>]

Hi,

I'm wondering how you guys solve the following problem (or maybe not even a 
problem):

1) In my servlet/application, I lookup the session bean and store the home 
interface.  This is only done once in the init() or the startup.

2) Then every time I need to access the bean, I simply call the create() 
method to retrieve the bean and subsequently use it.

3) Now I take down my JBoss server and restart it.

4) the original home interface that I retrieved is now invalid and will 
throw an exception when I use it.

How do you guys handle such an exception?  Do you have it do a lookup of 
the home interface again?

Or do you simply forget about that part and simply do lookups every time 
you need to access the remote bean?  I think this is a very expensive thing 
to do, having to go through lookups for every request,  then calling 
create(), and then doing something else.

Thanks,
Chris
