Instance pooling allows a single component instance to service multiple clients. Rather than creating a new instance for each client, EAServer maintains a pool of instances for reuse to service multiple clients. Instance pooling increases performance by eliminating the overhead of creating new instances for each client session. EAServer supports pooling of EJB components by default. “Component lifecycles” in the EAServer Programmer’s Guide describes how you can implement components of other types that support pooling.
