So does my pointer which is in variables scope need to be locked if I'm changing any of the instance variables in the object it's pointing to? The application.ws gets two initial values set in its init() function, but after that it's all reading those variables or just performing a web service. If variables-scoped pointers to application-scoped objects need to be locked when setting variables within the object, that's a good situation for newbies to remember "be careful what you copy by reference!" The question on the factory that Tom posed below is also of interest to me, as I use ColdSpring on most of my projects now too...

What if my application variable contains a factory that retrieves objects and then I call setters on those objects w/o a lock? config = application.beanFactory.getBean("baseConfig") config.setValue("name","value") Is this bad?
