RE: Threadsafe was [Patch] New Avalon Docs

[Peter Donald <do...@apache.org>]

Hi,

One thing I would suggest doing if/when you get the chance. The definition of 
a ThreadSafe component roughly corresponds to the definition of a Stateless 
Session EJBs (ie only act on parameters and no intercall information stored). 
Compare this to Stateful Session EJBs (may cache information between 
invocations). Highlighting this in the documentation may help to explain it 
better to those familiar with EJBs. I would do it but being an EJB weenie I 
would prolly get it wrong so ...

Cheers,

Pete

I haven't gotten that far into EJB support, so I wouldn't be confident placing
that information there.
