I read the above article and was interested by the section on Atomic
operations, and in particular the statement that "In particular, assignment
to variables of any type except long or double is atomic. You don't have to
worry about a thread preempting a method in the middle of the assignment.".
As a relative newbie to Java and Servlets, this seems to contradict all the
books that I've read which teach that any change to an instance variable
should be synchronised. Am I missing something here?
