No reference I'm afraid, but I know from practical experience that JBOSS's EJBHome objects (specifically those it provides to the Tomcat servlet container) are definitely not thread-safe. Since as you say, the spec is silent on the subject, JBOSS is not in violation of the spec, so a portable client must synchronise. Incidentally, the "feels" right to me also, as client programs expect to have to deal with the consequences of multithreading if they use it. ======================================== Ian McCallion Alexis Systems Limited Romsey, UK Tel: +44 1794 514883 Fax: +44 1794 501692 ======================================== =========================================================================== To unsubscribe, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and include in the body of the message "signoff EJB-INTEREST".
