Charles... in his defense (though I'm not saying he shouldn't understand the spec), this actually stems from a series of misunderstandings, mostly brought on by "poser" authors, "grad and teach" college "professors", and instructors who regurgitate slides rather than actually knowing anything. Many a programmer has been told that spawning your own threads cannot or should not be done in the JEE space, when what they really mean to convey is that programmers should not try to handle request concurrency through their own threading mechanism... because the container already does so.

Is such a capability even hinted at in the servlet spec? If no, then it's a bit difficult to delegate. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
