How to keep an application level object running with SunIDM?

Question

We are working on intergrate a gmail project with SunIDM. We need an application level object running with SunIDM so it will maintain a token generated from Gmail side. In anther servlet project, I had this object saved in the attribute of the ServletContext, then other session level servlet could share this attribute anytime. Is there a way to store attribute in Servlet Context and have it shared by different user session in SunIDM? I have been reading documents and searched this forum, haven't find any topics related how to maintain an application level object live. Hopefully that I can get some hint here.
Thank you so much.

Paul, Thank you so much for the further explaination. I don't think it will work since the token generated from gmail will expire every 24 hours.
We are using the gdata library published from by gmail people, and I create a new UserService object and have it run in the application level. The UserService object will generate a token and renew it every 24 hours behind the scene. Here is how I implement it in my Servlet project:
//to have a UserService object running at the application level:
public class GmailUserService extends HttpServlet {
public void init(ServletConfig config) throws ServletException{
super.init();
userService = new UserService(myApplication);
config.getServletContext().setAttribute("gmailUserService", userService);
//to access this UserService object from other servlet in each user session:
UserService userService = (UserService)servletContext.getAttribute("gmailUserService");
Gmail will trigger an error if we create a new UserService object for each user. They recommend to have all the user to share one UserService object. I am looking for similar approach in SunIDM.
Thank you again, Paul, for trying to help.
