It would all depend on what would happen if two threads tried to run the "long initialization process" at the same time. If the code creates objects and builds dependencies using application scope, it's entirely possible you would get an inconsistent data setup. If you're just setting a bunch of scalar variables, you won't have problems. In other words, it all depends on whether the initialization code itself could be subject to race conditions. -- Sean A Corfield -- http://www.corfield.org/ Team Fusebox -- http://www.fusebox.org/ Breeze Me! -- http://www.corfield.org/breezeme Got Gmail? -- I have 6 invites to give away!
