Where to store setup data in glassfish web application

[John Blunket]

Hi,
In my web application I have some data that I want to be visible to every method, and is a constant value.

Where do I put this? as I think I am not supposed to use global static values, and I don't want the overhead of database access every time I use a method.

Regards,
John.

Study the servlet API - glassfish is the reference implementation for the latest servlet API.

Web apps frequently use Properties files for simple setup data and XML for complex data. A common convention is to place the files under WEB-INF so they will not be "visible" directly to clients.
