You can assume that servlets are exactly the same as any other multithreaded code. So anything accessed by multiple threads simultaneously is potentially a problem. SingleThreadModel probably doesn't do what you think it does Don't use it unless you are very confident you know what you're doing. No, I take that back, just don't use it at all. (If you want details, check the archives) The normal Java methods for controlling concurrency (locks, jvm guarantees, etc) work just the same way in servlets, it's up to you to apply them appropriately. Since "appropriate" is very problem specific, you'll have to give more info (or some code) if you want a more detailed answer. -- Christopher St. John [EMAIL PROTECTED] DistribuTopia http://www.distributopia.com ___________________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and include in the body of the message "signoff SERVLET-INTEREST".
