I'm not entirely sure that sharing a stream among threads is such a good idea either- assuming you really were trying to do that eventually. Is there something in particular you are trying to achieve? You may want to have one thread read and one thread close to if you decide you don't
want or can't get the data you are blocking for. fwiw, spawaning threads in an applet isn't a real good idea either. -----Original Message----- From: Christopher K.

Just have a loop in the original thread, right? No new thread at all. It's probably safest to assume that spawning threads in serlvets is evil should be avoided. That's not entirely true, but it's a good working assumption. -- 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".
