Hi Martin,

Found this message from last week, but it doesn't look like you ever got
a reply.  FWIW, I use a single global store which is shared by all my
servlets.  

In terms of thread-safety, you just have consider situations where the
same MiddleObject might be used/modified by two users simultaneously,
and whether this could cause problems.  Depending on your app this may
not be likely or even possible.

See
http://webware.colorstudy.net/twiki/bin/view/Webware/MiddleKitAndWebKit
for a "standard" way to set initialize MiddleKit from a WebKit app.

cheers,
Jason
