Thanks Kevin for such an excellent resource. I have a question about the nature of thread safety of the *session *object.
So, if we don't make changes to the session* *object at all, does this mean we can use multi threads on the session object (together with the other objects like *ReportDownloader *and the *service stubs *that they hold a reference to the session)? The only thing that potentially can change on a session is the customer ID, right? We have a model whereby we cache one session object per account ID, hence we never need to change the customer ID on the session. Are we safe to use multi threads in our case?
