I should know this, but I want to confirm with smarter people on the board.
Assume the following: 1. Servlet receives an HTTP POST request. doPost(...) is called. 2. doPost(..) instantiates class X with each request 3. Class X calls a static method of class Y Assuming I have no synchronization in the method signature or body of Y, there is a danger of concurrency issues or thread safety issues. Many instances of X can call Y's static method at the same time, causing BAD THINGS to happen. True? I swear I used to know this but I've worked on so much stuff for this project in the last few months it simply fell out of my brain :). I'm also aware that the answer to this is often "it depends" but I'm looking for the general case answer. TIA John
