Hi there,

I want to write a server-side JavaScript module for APE that will
handle hundreds of users on multiple active channels.  Say I use the
APE server events like this:

Ape.addEvent("beforeJoin", function(user, channel) {
        var uname = user.getProperty('name');
        var cname = channel.getProperty('name').toLowerCase();

        Ape.log("User " + uname + " is joining channel '" + cname + "'");
        // Store the user+channel info and do something
});

Is it possible for the event handler to be called by multiple threads
at the same time?  Or is all the JavaScript code executed by a single
thread (in which case surely this is a bottleneck for all the incoming
HTTP requests)?

Similarly, if I were to use a global variable to share data between
event handlers, do I need any kind of locking mechanism to prevent
different event handlers accessing the same variable at the same time?

Many thanks!
