Threads in Tomcat

[kwirirai]

Thanks to All, I have done all the stuff to make my web app thread safe,
It seems its fine for the moment.Except for a few more things.
It seems threading is realy complex. I am forking out a new thread in my 
Handle request method and this is making the other request to wait for 
the other thread to complete.

Actualy what is happening is this I have this code , I am using Velocity

 public Template handleRequest( HttpServletRequest request,
   HttpServletResponse response, Context context )
   {       

     .......
      .......
        someCode1;
        gmh=new MyThread();
        new Thread(gmh).start();
        someCode2;
}
when two clients make a request ,suppose client1 makes a request then 
manages to start the thread first then client2 makes a request while 
client1 thread has already started running ,client2 will somehow be 
forced to wait on someCode1  until client1 thread has finished .Can you 
imagine if client1 takes a very long time to finish,that means client2 
will also take a very long time

I do not think it should do this
I was thinking of using a thread pool, now I need some example code to 
use a thread pool havent got any idea were to start, just some pointers 
to help me ,dont want to give you too much trouble :-)

Thanks in advance
