Back from JavaLand conference, so sorry for not kicking in earlier.

I not quite get the argumentation chain. It’s that all triggered by async servlet requests? And isn’t the servlet spec also saying that all the request param etc may max be assigned to a single thread AT A TIME!

Means that it might not be on multiple threads in parallel, but the data is allowed to get moved from one thread to another (disapearing from the first one), right?
Would really need to dig into the wording of the async servlets spec again, maybe has this in the back of his head?

LieGrue,

Will also remove the quite dark side of the spec regarding servlet request and request scope since now we would have a more natural solution for all of these situation so @RequestScoped goals wouldn't collide as much.
