</div></div><p>In a multithreaded environment <code class="inline-code">Configuration</code>
instances, <code class="inline-code">Template</code> instances and data-models
should be handled as immutable (read-only) objects. That is, you
create and initialize them (for example with
<code class="inline-code">set<em class="code-color">...</em></code> methods), and
then you don&#39;t modify them later (e.g. you don&#39;t call
<code class="inline-code">set<em class="code-color">...</em></code>). This allows us
to avoid expensive synchronized blocks in a multithreaded environment.
Beware with <code class="inline-code">Template</code> instances; when you get a
<code class="inline-code">Template</code> instance with
<code class="inline-code">Configuration.getTemplate</code>, you may get an instance
from the template cache that is already used by other threads, so do
not call its <code class="inline-code">set<em class="code-color">...</em></code>
methods (calling <code class="inline-code">process</code> is of course fine).</p><p>The above restrictions do not apply if you access all objects
from the <em>same</em> single thread only.</p><p>It is impossible to modify the data-model object or a <a href="pgui_config_sharedvariables.html">shared variable</a> with FTL,
unless you put methods (or other objects) into the data-model that do
that. We discourage you from writing methods that modify the
data-model object or the shared variables. Try to use variables that
are stored in the environment object instead (this object is created
for a single <code class="inline-code">Template.process</code> call to store the
runtime state of processing), so you don&#39;t modify data that are
possibly used by multiple threads.
