[jdjlist] Re: Thread-Safe JSP

[Craig Malmfeldt]

Emma,

If you are declaring variables within the jsp you need to be careful how you are doing it. If for example you declare a variable within the code blocks <%!        String s = "whatever"; %>

This variable has global application scope for that jsp. Any changes in other methods would have to be synchronized or you are not thread safe.

However, if you declare a variable within a jsp within code blocks

<%  String s = "whatever"; %> then you need not worry about synchronization as this variable is declared within the service method of the jsp ( doGet, doPost) and each individual call to the jsp creates a new thread for the service method.
