Hi again!

You do not want to do:

synchronized(this){
%MYSCRIPT%
}


as this refers to the script instance, which will differ for each thread.

For example, running a load test at a MockService with this dispatch script:
log.info ("hello, this is "+this)

...will result in:
Wed May 23 10:57:43 CEST 2012:INFO:hello, this is Script3@1e9668d
Wed May 23 10:57:43 CEST 2012:INFO:hello, this is Script1@a3e85e


What you instead do want to do is to synchronize on something that the threads have in common, e.g. the MockService object:
synchronized(mockRequest.context.mockService){
%MYSCRIPT%
}
