: I remember reading somewhere (SDF javadoc?) that SDF instances are not : thread-safe. I take it that means class instances could mean trouble.
correct, but all usages of the static formaters in this patch seem to be synchronized, so it's probably not an issue -- however i'm not sure if the performance benefits of the static instances Daniel mentioned in his commit will exist in a multithreaded app (the synchronization costs may outway the instantiation costs) : Don't re-create SimpleDateFormat objects, use static ones instead. Gives : about a 2x performance increase in a micro benchmark. -Hoss --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
