Maybe I'm being dense here but: If every session contains a reference to the bean, and every thread is synchronizing on their own session; It would seem that there would not be any concurrency control. I would think that they all need to sync on the same object. JC "Kalra, Ashwani" <[EMAIL PROTECTED] To: "Struts (E-mail)" <user@struts.apache.org> gemini.com> cc: Subject: concurrency problem 04/08/2005 06:10 AM Please respond to "Struts Users Mailing List" I am facing concurrency problem in following scenario. All our action classes call same stateful session bean . Each action class obtains the reference from HTTPSession object and calls one and only one business method. To prevent the concurrent access to this instance which occurs when user immediately presses two links quickly in succession I am using the following code block execute(...) //execute methods of Action class { .... .... //Obtain the session from Request.User will always be in session here session=request.getSession() Synchronised(session) { //call ejb's business method. } } However sometimes more than one thread is able to pass through, And I get exception from Appserver. As 2 threads are not allowed for statefull Session bean. Can there be problem in above code. Is it ok to synchronise on session object.
