I don't quite follow: how does sending work to a server (outside of your process space) meaningful at all when trying to characterize your code as concurrent or not concurrent? And if you're staying in the same process, using asynchronism without being parallel makes no sense: since you're only running one thread, there is really no point in making asynchronous calls within your code. Which is basically why I think that for all practical purposes, concurrency and parallelism are equivalent. -- Cédric -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Java Posse" group.
