Thread Saftey of JDBC Connection and PreparedStatements

Can I share Connection and Statement (PreparedStatement) objects between threads?

I have some concurrent processing that is inserting records using the same SQL syntax and I would like to create a PreparedStatement to improve the performance. The statement needs to be accessed by multiple threads to be efficient. Is this possible?

thanks
