Just one more question. Does this InheritableThreadLocal work well in clustered platform?
Threads and clusters aren't really related topics, so I'm not entirely sure how to answer the question. Better said a thread is a concept that applies to a single JVM and not something capable of spanning multiple JVMs. When one JVM calls to another JVM, say in a cluster or other client/server architecture, there are always at least two threads involved (one in each JVM) and those threads will have zero visibility or awareness of each other.
The one "cluster" caveat is the Azul appliance, which is different than other clustering environments in that it operates as one giant JVM.
