Pasted my original email I used and the last email from Jörg. Also attached the entire email thread.

-------------------------
Hi,
I am using XStream as part of my application for serializing classes. For one of the use cases, I have to serialize some of the classes implementing Externalizable interface. For my use case I would like to serialize them using native Java serialization. I found a link on the internet, http://old.nabble.com/How-to-remove-Externalizable-Converter-td22747484.html, which helped me address this issue and started using Reflection Converter for my Externalizable classes.

When testing the application, I am seeing that the application is spending lot of time in converter code during highly concurrent access. I can see that the problem is in the buildMap method of FieldDictionary, http://svn.codehaus.org/xstream/trunk/xstream/src/java/com/thoughtworks/xstream/converters/reflection/FieldDictionary.java

I was wondering if there is a better way to address my original issue? Is the performance for Reflection Converter expected to be bad when having highly concurrent environment?

I really appreciate any help/advice regarding this. Thanks for the help

Regards

You're absolutely right, getting the cached element not required to be
synched here. Can you open a JIRA issue please, just to track the change?
It's different from XSTR-635, since at that time the cache was realized with
a (non-working) WeakHashMap.
