A threading question!

[Lucas Ludvig <jo...@hotmail.com>]

Hello People,

Can Tomcat handle threads that send output to two separate 
HttpServletResponse objects "simultaneously"?  Currently my simple threaded 
program locks up and no output appears in the browser.  Any input 
appreciated greatly.

Thanks,

Luke

Certainly, thats the whole idea. The servlet engine activates a
separate
Thread for each HTTP request so as long as your servlet does not use
instance variables there should be no interference. When you say "my
simple threaded program" do you mean that you are starting another
Thread?
Simple servlets typically use the Thread provided by the servlet
engine.
