You want to configure the sun-ejb-jar.xml file, and set the bean-cache and bean-pool parameters. In the example, they have a maximum of 100 beans, it adds 10 beans every time it wants more, but is under 100, and it keeps a minimum of 10 beans in the pool and cache at any one time.
Try this with the SSB that backs your WebService.
