Hello,

I have been doing some basic work on omniORB2 (2.8.0), predominantly on the server side of
things.  I don't have a lot of experience with multithreaded apps and realize that
omniORB2 itself is multithreaded.  Does this imply that any server implementations that I
write should be threadsafe?  What if I use yet another 3rdparty library ( for example Qt
), as part of the implementation of a server implementation.  Am I shooting myself in the
foot by including non-threadsafe libraries?  I have noticed ACE/TAO has very precise
threading behavioral control over server invocations and wondered if something like that
is in the works.  See
http://www.cs.wustl.edu/~schmidt/ACE_wrappers/TAO/docs/configurations.html.

Thanks
