The container takes care of the majority of threading issues for you; only when multiple requests access the same data (i.e. session or application scope) does threading matter to the application developer. If you have request-level data, concurrency isn't be a concern unless you're explicitly multithreading your request.
Note that instance variables of shared-scope CFC's count as cross-request data, but local variables inside CFC methods (including arguments) do not. cheers, barneyb On 10/1/06, Mark Mandel <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Your probably better off with a java.util.Hashtable, as it is already > syncronised (thread safe), and more often than not, where are using > Hashtables in a web environment, they need to be thread safe. > > That being said, java.util.Collections gives you some easy to use > utilities to create synchronised Maps very easily. > > HTH > > Mark -- Barney Boisvert [EMAIL PROTECTED] 360.319.6145 http://www.barneyb.com/ Got Gmail?
