Yes, I was referring to HttpSession object. But I think that you answered my question already. We got confused by the Tomcat code. It doesn't appear to me that the HttpSession object is synchronized in Tomcat, but as you mentioned, the get and set attribute methods of the HttpSession object are synchronized.
Thanks for the clarification. Celeste -----Original Message----- From: Christopher K.

If you put object "foo" into the repository, and then two servlet threads get "foo" out of the session and call foo.bar() simultaneously, it's up to you to make sure that foo.bar() is thread safe. The servlet container itself is always responsible for making sure that HttpSession.get/setAttribute() are thread safe. > Does Tomcat handle the synchronization of the session > object for you, ... ? > The phrase "the session object" is confusing. Do you mean the HttpSession object, or the objects that you bind into the session using HttpSession putAttribute(obj)? -- Christopher St. John [EMAIL PROTECTED] DistribuTopia http://www.distributopia.com =========================================================================== To unsubscribe: mailto [EMAIL PROTECTED] with body: "signoff JSP-INTEREST".
