I'm working on an application that stores news articles in a database. When the
servlet is intialized, it gets all the articles from the datatbase and stores them in a bean. The main page which is a
jsp page, then displays the articles by using the bean. My question is what scope should I use for the bean? Ideally I'd like any updates in the database to be reflected in the bean. Could I designate a certain scope to do this, or am I going to have to have another call to the servlet?
