Re: Collection Implementation

[David Graham]

Vector was a poorly designed class that has been replaced by ArrayList.  New 
code should not use Vector.  If you need a synchronized list do this 
instead:

List myList = Collections.synchronizedList(new ArrayList());

Without checking the archives for specific references,
I'm still sure I've read on multiple occasions, "Don't
use Vectors, use ArrayLists".  I was under the
impression that this was because Vectors are not
synchronized.  After refactoring, today, I read here
that ArrayLists are not synchronized:
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.1/docs/api/java/util/ArrayList.html

Time to refactor again?  I need to be using one of the
static Collections.synchronized* methods, right?
Beyond using Objects that are synchronized, what
difference does it make which implementation of
Collection I choose?
