For the life of me I cannot recall why I made them static!!! There are a few other variables that I had static as well. I want to say that when I was writing the program I was getting compile errors stating that I cannot reference non-static variables and changing them to static allowed the program to compile (major newbie mistake/assumption I am sure).
I just created a copy of my program and removed static from the serialNumber as well as a few other variables I had made static and everything compiled fine. Very strange though that it has been working fine this entire time??? :-/ I guess the next step is to make this change in the live program and monitor it very closely... Thanks again.

Gotcha ! That's no instance variable !!!! It's a class variable !!!! It is shared by all instances of the bean !!! change it to: private String serialNumber=""; > -----Original Message----- > From: Denise Mangano [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Thursday, March 25, 2004 6:14 PM > To: Tomcat Users List > Subject: RE: Possible thread "crossing" > > In the bean there is an instance variable: > private static String serialNumber=""; > > And it is set using the regular set method: > public void setserialNumber(String sn) { serialNumber = sn; } > --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
