If the processing is fast, why would you go to the complexity and overhead of switching to another thread to process the request? You should also read the servlet spec, in particular SRV.2.3.3.3: "Implementations of the request and response objects are not guaranteed to be thread safe. This means that they should only be used within the scope of the request handling thread. "References to the request and response objects should not be given to objects executing in other threads as the resulting behavior may be nondeterministic. If the thread created by the application uses the container-managed objects, such as the request or response object, those objects must be accessed only within the servlet's service life cycle and such thread itself should have a life cycle within the life cycle of the servlet's service method because accessing those objects after the service method ends may cause undeterministic problems." The illogical behavior you're asking for simply isn't allowed. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
