    Hello @jessie.lin

    RFA Does support the use of threads, please see the developer guide for the details under Application Performance Tuning and Considerations.

    In particular please take note of the Common Package Usage Guidelines in the same document;

    It describes the level of thread safety provided by the interfaces and when passing any data to another thread that was supplied in a Client.processEvent(Event event) call, the data must be copied first because the objects supplied in this callback method belong to the API and will be recycled when the method returns.
