It depends on your service. :-)
See what we do below.

Nope or it depends. ;-)
e.g. first thread will install the pojo, but it has some dependencies that don't allow it to be configured (missing injection)
Then that missing injection bean gets installed (via HDScanner thread that picked up -beans.xml), which pushes our first bean fwd.
So threads differ.

We are locking parts of the Controller code that change states.
So if one thread moves context fwd, the next thread will wait, and then see that this was already moved.
Meaning you pojo will only go through states exactly once.
