Yes, they are just waiting for requests to show up. > Only one thread can get into the method Strictly speaking, that's one thread per *servlet* object; if using the SingleThreadModel (let's hope not), the container is allowed to create multiple instances. > They're not further places for contention to occur. Depending on what else uses the criticalProcess object, that may or may not be true. Regardless, synchronizing on the method is very likely a complete waste of time. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
