Reason I brought this up is that I plan to use mysql. Mysql has those
AUTO INCREMENT fields and I want to insert a record and immediately call
last_index_id() to get the newly inserted row. If I do this is just one
and only one action, I may be able to prevent a timing/race condition by
which last_index_id() may accidentally be returned from the wrong insert.
I definitely want to prevent that from happening.
thanks,
Theron

No. If all data objects are local to the perform method, there's no
reason for it to be synchronized. If the data objects referred to in
perform are shared, then their access should probably be synchronized,
but not necessarily.

I don't know, but it doesn't matter. You should always assume that
any specific instance of an Action class could potentially serve multiple
threads at once. Or else what's the point of putting your app on the
web? ;-)
