Well, it IS a race condition, but it's one you can ignore. That was my point. You're just assigning variables, so it doesn't matter if it happens twice. Not that I wouldn't lock it, but it's not critical that you do, because the race condition has no adverse consequences. cheers, barneyb On Fri, 25 Mar 2005 13:00:13 +0700, Paul Hastings <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Barney Boisvert wrote: > > onApplicationStart is single threaded by CF server, so there's NEVER a > > need to lock inside that method.
