Hi thanks for the replies :) The whole system consists of a couple of hundreds of thousands lines of Java code. The part i am investigating is a validation sub system that validates a number of input parameters given from the user against various predefined values and rules, and against databases and such. These methods don't just validate the input, they also set up a couple of objects based on the input given.
I want these methods to run its own task in parallel, but sequential to the rest of the system. The reason i am doing this is to see if there is some improvements in performance and to see if it is possible at all to implement parts of a big system in a functional language. The same object is sent as an argument to all methods, and this object consist of a lot of other objects.
