David,
I think that people are trying to understand why you want to concern
yourself with threads, while inside of an EJB. EJB does not allow threads
inside of a bean, because that would affect the container's ability to
control the lifecycle of the bean.
The synchronized modifier is used to limit access to a code group to a
single thread. If there is only one thread at a time guaranteed to be acting
upon your bean (as it is in EJB), the use of synchronized will not achieve
anything, other than some unnecessary overhead in your code. Feel free to
use it if you wish.
