+1 to {{ReentrantReadWriteLocks}}.

IMHO

{code}
Map _methodParameterTypesCache = new HashMap();

synchronized (_methodParameterTypesCache)
{ 
    Class[] result; 

    if ( ( result = (Class[]) _methodParameterTypesCache.get( m )) == null )
    {
        _methodParameterTypesCache.put( m, result = m.getParameterTypes() ); 
    }
    return result; 
} 
{code}

and

{code}
Map _methodParameterTypesCache = new ConcurrentHashMap();

Class[] result; 

if ( ( result = (Class[]) _methodParameterTypesCache.get(m) ) == null )
{
    _methodParameterTypesCache.put( m, result = m.getParameterTypes() ); 
}
return result; 
{code}

have totally different semantics. In one case, you synchronized the whole block 
- including the checks - in the second one, just limited the map accesses.
Am I wrong? If yes, why?

> I've noticed a lot of synchronized blocks of code in OGNL. For the most part, 
> these synchronized blocks are controlling access to HashMaps, etc. I believe 
> this could be done far better using ReentrantReadWriteLocks. 
> ReentrantReadWriteLock allows unlimited concurrent access, and single threads 
> only for writes. Perfect in an environment where the ratio of reads  is far 
> higher than writes; which is typically the scenario for caching. Plus the 
> access control can be tuned for reads and writes; not just a big 
> synchronized{} wrapping a bunch of code.
