I've been looking in detail at the NIO changes and have a couple of
questions. In section 3.7 we have the following:
The Servlet container must access methods in ReadListener in a thread
safe manner.
There is equivalent text in section 5.3:
The Servlet container must access methods in WriteListener in a thread
safe manner.
I recall some discussions around this area but not this exact language.
It is not clear to me how one accesses a method in a thread safe manner
since thread safety is a property of the method implementation not of
how it is accessed. A search of the archives did not provide any
illumination either. So, I have two questions.
Q1. What exactly does the above mean?
Q2. Why was this requirement added?
Cheers,
Mark
