Testing servlet for thread safety.
Hi,
I asked this question as part of another mail but Mr. Tim Funk left it
unanswered.

There is no real test for thread safety. Thats why I was unable to answer it.
Thread safety is really a finite state machine problem. The real issue is
know that any concurrent flow of control will always keep the system in a
stable state. I use system as a generic term for servlet, webapp, or tomcat
jvm process.

My intention was not to blame anybody for not answering it. I just want to
mention that he answered all other questions. I am not writing more because
I dont know whether it may damage any one else. And sorry for my poor
communication and I am not fluent in English.
Thanks for answering. I want to know any special component is available
in these testing frameworks. I want open source.

Antony,
it might be the case that he didn't have time to answer, you know.
Nobody on this list is obliged to answer any questions. Attempting to
'name and shame' someone into answering your questions is not going to
make you popular and might backfire on you.
In answer to your question, the best approach would be check first that
you are not abusing any singletons, static methods or member variables
in your servlets.
Then you should set up tests using one of the testing frameworks
available that allows you to submit real data and check the results.
HTH
Adam
