What do you see is the danger there, that an update to the local transfer variable would update the variables.transferBean original object? I don't see how that's possible, given that it has been scoped locally (regardless of passing by reference). Ultimately, this is the precise issue I'm trying to clarify. But what you're saying is that *this* usage of local scoped vars is NOT thread safe? Can that be true?
