Varsha,

Just to emphasize - I think you want a ContextHandlerCollection, not a
HandlerList - a HandlerList tries each handler (or context in your case) in
order, whereas a ContextHandlerCollection picks the best matching context
from the path of the request. It would be most unusual to have a
HandlerList of contexts. So fix this first before changing your
multithreaded approach.
