Hi, I added an implementation of a List to the toolkit that works in express. This is basically an ArrayList, meaning that it's internally unlocked, but properly clustered when used within the context of a lock. While this corresponds to how we've been clustering regular collections in DSO before, I'm not certain I feel that this fits well within the toolkit. Any other implementation in there doesn't need additional locking. So, to use the list directly now, I have to do something like this:
List<String> list = toolkit.getList("bob"); ReadWriteLock lock = toolkit.getReadWriteLock("bree"); lock.writeLock().lock(); try { list.add("bob"); list.add("martin"); } finally { lock.writeLock().unlock(); } What do you think about internalizing the locking into this list implementation and ensuring that it's always thread-safe?
