They're great for keeping track of bits and pieces for a given request, but can lead to GC problems if used for data with a longer lifetime. Keeping servlet- or application-scope information as ThreadLocal makes it impossible to release such classes if the application is redeployed. Judicious use of the remove() method is a necessity. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
