Depends on how you look at it: they are true objects in that they are self-referential, and hold some (shareable) state. Check out the javadoc for the HttpServlet class: by default, the ServletConfig and some other vars are shared, and you're more than welcome to share thread-safe objects (such as a logger). I'd certainly call those local objects "useful." =) -QM -- software -- http://www.brandxdev.net tech news -- http://www.RoarNetworX.com --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
