Hi all,
I wonder if anyone can confirm the following:

I have a servlet that will call a synchronized method that will write to a
file.  My understanding of how Servlets work is that for every web session
(web browser) which calls the servlet the servlet will have a thread created
for that session in which data will be stored for that session but each
thread will use the same method(e.g the class and methods will not be
created for each thread).  Thus in order to access and write to external
media you need to make that method synchronized since in theory there is
only one method that all threads share.

Is this true??

Best Regards

Marc

You don't need a network connection to use localhost. That name should
resolve locally to 127.0.0.1.
If it doesn't, you should add a static route so that it does.
