But i also need it for other stuff that are specific to specific implementations of certain things for example the AccessStackStore doesn't need such a thread locale but SLC does..
Fair enough. So you would use such a 'bag' in request cycle to store stuff like dirtyObjects (session)? Aren't you afraid this will open up a new can of worms (users misusing this facility rather then providing their own request cycle implementation for instance)? Eelco
