[Pljava-dev] static variables

Why thread safe? As far as I understand the architecture of pljava,
every connection has it's private JVM, therefore each tread (or
connection) will access each own variable. Since I don't want to
share the private static variable among connections, it should work.
Anybody has any experience with this?
