Are JBossWS webservices threadsafe?

Issue

• We are converting from Websphere and our webservice is behaving differently on JBoss which makes us wonder if JBossWS is not thread safe.

Here is a simple web service example:

@WebService
public class TestWS {
  private String myName = "Test"; 
  @WebMethod
  public void doSomething() {
    myName = myName + ".";
  }

  @WebMethod
  public String getSvcName() {
    return myName;
  }
}

In this example the class variable myName keeps changing with each invocation of doSomething() method. This behavior makes the web service thread unsafe.
