just wildly guessing (I currently don't have any FindBugs installation
at hand to check against):
The description of MSF_MUTABLE_SERVLET_FIELD says:
"A web server generally only creates one instance of servlet or jsp
class (i.e., treats the class as a Singleton), and will have multiple
threads invoke methods on that instance to service multiple simultaneous
requests. Thus, having a mutable instance field generally creates race
conditions."
Would it be possible to make your field a *static* variable of your
Servlet class instead of an instance variable and thereby signal to
FindBugs that you take care of the fact that it will not create a race
condition?
HTH & best regards,
Andreas
