ActionServlet - thread safe instance variables

Hi As a newbie to Struts (coming from a Turbine background) I was hoping someone would clarify the design issues with having instance variables in the controller servlet. Does this not pose thread safety issues? If so, how does one deal with them? Turbine took the easy way out and declared only
