1) Has java 5 given us any new way to attach to a running app and see the threads or does the foresight of applying jdb startup parameters to each instance still apply with a view to using jdb *if* you get a frozen app as outlined in WO wiki.... http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Programming:WebObjects/ Web_Applications/Deployment/Debugging_Frozen_Deployed_Instances
JProfiler can do this, but kill -QUIT will give you a snapshot.

2) I understood that wotaskd would kill and restart a deadlocked unresponsive instance automatically ..... but it did not do it today?
It does not do this ... It will restart a STOPPED instance automatically. But a deadlocked instance is not going anywhere on its own.

3) Besides ERXObjectStoreCoordinator for broadcasting EOF stack changes, what other reliable synchronization options are available?
I have not heard of any of the synchronization options being reliable. It's why I started work on the multicast one, because every other one had a pretty spotty sounding history in the mailing list archives.

However, over the past month or so I have done many 500+ freaking-out- click-crazy-concurrent-user-reading-and-writing load tests on top of the ERX stack synchronizer, both multicast/remote and multistack single-instance without a single deadlock. Anything's possible, but I have not seen it happen under some pretty NASTY conditions.
