So long as your code isn't referencing any variables stored within the class
itself, no, you should have no problems with thread-synchronization. It's
only when you're using a member of a class in more than one thread that you
may need to synchronize:
public class NoSynchronization
{
public void doSomething()
{
// References no class members; everything's method-local.
// Should be OK.
}
}
public class NeedsSynchronization
{
private String member1;
private int member2;
public void doSomething()
{
... this.member1;
... this.member2;
// Because this references the members of this instance, and
multiple
// threads may be executing through here (and modifying the same
data)
// at once, you need to synchronize this method.
}
}
The same, obviously, holds true if you access static members. Note that this
*also* holds true if you access other stateful classes that aren't
thread-protected or thread-specific.
