I think the best solution here is to simply create local SimpleDateFormat as needed.

I guess it depends on the use of HttpCookie. In the JDK HttpCookie is only used to parse cookies sent in a HTTP response. For this type of application potentially keeping three formatters per thread seems like a waste. This, of course, is only one use.
For certain cases Its also viable to exploit the fact that its enough to generate a new value once per second for HTTP timestamps.
I don't understand. Are you using HttpCookie in a server type context? -Chris.
Even if its not "needed", it would imo be nice if the JDK code itself could somehow act as reference / good examples of how to THINK(design) and implement. regards gustav trede
