The problem is that you are using what appear to be instance variables in
this
method. Since the servlet engine will send multiple requests into the class,
the
instance variables get changed by each thread.
Specifically there is a problem with your use of the variable out. Since it
is
not defined inside the method, it appears to be an instance variable. When
multiple threads enter this method concurrently, each thread changes the
value
of out. Thus or more of the responses will be messed up.
The other problem, as others have pointed out, could be in your database
manipulation. Again, you need to make sure each thread will get its own
connection to the database, and that the resultSet returned is not going to
be
changed by another thread.
