Title:
Yes. It looks like it is suggesting using a different thread to make
a connection. I've become rather superstitious about this but
I think it is a good idea. If you are writing code that can be called
from anything- IE 5.0, NS6, or a test application- you don't really know
when you are inviting deadlock or freezing a UI. I think you get better
modularity by doing anything critical with a thread you have complete
knowledge
of rather than hoping you don't get deadlock in some situations. I did
have one
case of an applet locking up ( sporadic, never fully tracked down) by
putting in (what I thought) was a safe synchronized block in a method
called
by JavaScript. Obviously, this depends on what you are trying to do- if
the
caller needs to block, then it needs to block.

I was hoping someone else could qualify my statements...

I hereby state that, to the best of my knowledge and belief,
the foregoing statements are, or could potentially be, relevant to
Servlets.

Thanks.

When you say "workaround" do mean using something like described in

what
this prevents? advantages?

In general, I don't think it is good practice to do anything from
a JavaScript or event thread except set a flag. Any comments?
You simply don't have a lot of control over these unknown threads
or what they are doing or locking. It is probably not very safe to
