Barry -

:o) Looks like I've been quoted.

I've actually said something that was wrong, and have retracted my statement 
(Can't be right always).

To quote myself:
I did some investigating, and the Java array extends java.util.Vector,
which IS thread safe.  To quote from the relevent javadocs "As of the
Java 2 platform v1.2, this class has been retrofitted to implement
List, so that it becomes a part of Java's collection framework. Unlike
the new collection implementations, Vector is synchronized.". I had
originally thought that the ColdFusion array extended
java.util.ArrayList, which is NOT thread safe, and requires itself to
be constructed through java.utils.Collections.synchronizedList() to be
thread safe. My bad.

Does that answer your question?

Mark
