Hello struts users, The issue of thread safety bugs me. It seems as though it is standard practice to write servlets thread-*unsafely*. The odds of it ever being a problem are slim, but still.
It seems to me that form bean setters (and probably getters) should be synchronized. I found the following two quotes from Craig McClanahan. To me, they seem contradictory. However, even if we use the "that's going to be real unusual" standard, shouldn't we synchronize setters, since, in theory, it's the only thread-safe thing to do? http://archive.covalent.net/jakarta/struts-dev/2000/06/0117.xml Craig: "For the form beans, you are creating them in a particular user's session. If the user does two submits to the same form at the same time you might have overlapping setXxx method calls going on, but that's going to be real unusual." http://archive.covalent.net/jakarta/struts-user/2001/03/0013.xml Craig: "It is surprisingly easy to have multiple requests active at the same time for the same session."
