Hi,

I was wondering how I'd be able to hack my own global cache (or rather, bunch o' variables) into Tomcat that would be available to all servlets and JSP pages. I'm trying to share an Oracle connection pool (and a couple similar, global, very large, non-session dependent objects) to all my servlets and JSPs, and I don't want to build a different cache for each servlet and JSP page, because it would be an incredible waste of memory. Where would be the right place for this kind of hack? Or is there an existing facility I could hack up to make it not a complete hack? (However, the objects aren't serializable.)

Thanks,
