Thread Safe Objects

[Rajeev Iyer]

Which are the thread safe objects in JSPs ?
Can a class variable (a static variable ) be thread safe?

[Frank Carver]

In general, only "method" variables (declared in <% %> are definitively thread safe in JSPs.
Class ("static") variables are not. Object (instance) variables are not. Variables stored in application and session contexts are not. Variables stored in request or page contexts are probably thread safe, unless they are also one of the unsafe categories above.

[Mani Narain]

To add...I guess the instance variables are thread safe if the JSP page has the directive (<%@ page isThreadSafe=false)..it is like JSP page implementing the SingleThreadModel...people correct me if I am wrong..

Mani i hope you are correct .and in case of Single Threaded model static variables are not thread safe.

but singlethreaded model is defered in Servlet 2.4
