Emmanuel Lecharny commented on DIRSERVER-1541:
----------------------------------------------

I have a concern about this modification in the latest patch :

-    // The regexp pattern matcher
-    private Pattern datePattern = Pattern.compile( GENERALIZED_TIME_PATTERN ); 
+    // The regexp pattern is immutable, only one instance needed.
+    private static final Pattern DATE_PATTERN = Pattern.compile( 
GENERALIZED_TIME_PATTERN ); 
 
     /**
      * Creates a new instance of GeneralizedTimeSyntaxChecker.

         }
         
         // Start the date parsing
-        boolean result = datePattern.matcher( strValue ).find();
+        boolean result = DATE_PATTERN.matcher( strValue ).find();


I'm not sure that DATE_PATTERN.matcher is thread-safe. Can this be checked ? 

(the problem is not the Pattern itself, but the fact that it returns a Matcher 
which is not thread safe when calling the matcher() method on the Pattern).

> File names and paths are not being handled in a platform-independent manner 
> is all cases.
> In particular, in regex matching patterns the "\" has special meaning.  On 
> Windows the "\" is used as the file directory separator character so a regex 
> attempting to test for a directory separator character must be constructed in 
> a platform-dependent manner.
> Also, certain characters are not allowed in file names in Microsoft Windows.  
> Any attempt to use such names must have these special characters "escaped" to 
> safe characters.  Since the "\" character is the directory separator 
> character it is unsuitable for special character escaping.
> Finally, in the JdbmStoreTest test, stores and indexes must be destroyed 
> and/or closed to permit deletion of the underlying files at completion of the 
> test run.
