I'm picking this topic up again and actually, what I'm kicking myself for just now occuring to me is this: To recap: if I make my Persistence object a protected class level variable inside of an Action subclass, it's not going to be threadsafe... But... If that class has only static public methods, and a static ThreadLocal class variable for it's connection to the database, et al, then it should be safe anyway. Yeah, I'll have a type conversion for the ThreadLocal in each database method, but not in every blessed action method. One last sanity check? :-) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
