Sharing data between sessions

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----

Hash: SHA1

One of my developers wants to share data between sessions inside a package. Specifically he wants to set some sort of global variable in a package that session 1 executes, and when sessions 2,3...n fire a trigger he wants them to be able to read that variable. Is there an easy way to do this other than by using a table? I was thinking that java might have this ability but I don't know java at all. I know you can link a C program to a trigger and since this is on unix you could theoretically create a shared memory segment that the trigger would read but this sounds like to a lot of hoops to jump through.

Any suggestions?
