You can use Bean Managed Concurrency (BMC) for your concurrency issues. In this way you can use "synchronized" in your singleton bean and this way the Application Server Container will no more responsible for managing concurrency issues.
This can be done through applying @ConcurrencyManagment on your SingletonSessionBean and setting it to BMC.
