一个JAVA虚机的一个web应用具有一个context。

4. 在有些JSP中为了显示中文字符，必须将字符作如下转变：
String result = new String(transDate.getBytes("utf8"), "iso-8859-1");

有两种方法：
1. Soft lock.(Optimistic Concurrency)
2. Hard lock(Pessimistic Concurrency)
1. Soft lock.
In the case of Soft lock you have use an extra field called timestamp in your
database table. When you are retrieving a record from the database, you need to
store its timestamp in a temporary variable and when user hits the update link
you have to compare this timestamp with the timestamp of most recent record
