hibernate sessionfactory as a global jndi resource

问题

I have a multiple contexts running in one tomcat instance each context need access to the same database.

I am running into problems with cashing because each context has its own instance of hibernate and ehcache at the moment.

This seems wrong they should only be one instance of hibernate and ehcache , this would also have better performance.

I would like to make a single instance of hibernate session factory available to all contexts, I think this can be done using a global JNDI resource in tomcat.

Is this a good way to solve this problem?

Also if anybody can provide any good resources for learning how to do this it would be much appreciated.

Update: I have managed to bind session factory to a global JNDI but a ConcurrentModificationException appears in the log during startup of tomcat.

I have solved the problem by using a LifecycleListener to create a singleton instance of session factory on start up.

import org.apache.catalina.Lifecycle;
import org.apache.catalina.LifecycleEvent;
import org.apache.catalina.LifecycleListener;
import org.hibernate.SessionFactory;
import org.hibernate.cfg.Configuration;

public class SessionFactorys implements LifecycleListener  {

    private static SessionFactory sessionFactory;

    public static SessionFactory getSessionFactory() {
        return sessionFactory;
    }

    @Override
    public void lifecycleEvent(LifecycleEvent arg0) {
        if (Lifecycle.AFTER_START_EVENT==arg0.getType()) {
            sessionFactory = new Configuration().configure("hibernate.cfg.xml").buildSessionFactory();
        }
        if (Lifecycle.BEFORE_STOP_EVENT==arg0.getType()) {  
            sessionFactory.close();
        }
    }

}
