> That said, there could and arguably should be another choice: I'll suggest something more radical: define a class such as ScopeLocal where values are added to and removed from threads as they enter and leave a scope boundary. For servlet engine purposes, typical scopes would be webapp, session, request, servlet, etc. Doing it properly (and efficiently) might well require JVM intervention, but it would certainly help in providing a useful mechanism for app writers. Obviously, there's lots of definition work needed here... - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
