Synchronizing the method myMeths() does not prevent other threads from
entering or running in other parts of the servlet (unless service(), or
doPost() and doGet() are also synchronized methods). Using the lock of
the servlet object will only stop threads from entering blocks or
methods that are also locked on the servlet object. If only myMeths() is
synchronized, then other threads will be able to enter the servlet, and
will be able to run, as long as they do not enter the myMeths() method.
