What sort of "messy" code would that be? I've seen people use a database as a sort of distributed semaphore. This not only spares you from using isThreadSafe (which, IIRC, died in servlet spec 2.4/JSP 2.0 along with SingleThreadModel); it means your app can scale to multiple app servers without you touching additional code. -QM -- software -- http://www.brandxdev.net tech news -- http://www.RoarNetworX.com --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
