Where is the written specification for the HashMap that states your usage is safe ? It sounds like you as working on the presumption that all implementation's won't cause an infinite loop (or set fire to the computer) but you dont have any API contract to back that presumption up. I read the specification to state that some put/remove operations (that modify the map structurally are explicitly not threadsafe) You can't call threadsafe and non-threadsafe calls to an API at the same time. The threadsafe calls are only threadsafe with respect to other threadsafe calls on the same API. My understanding of this: You can call threadsafe API calls at the same time. Anytime you want to call a non-threadsafe one you have to serialize it with respect to the API Interface not with respect to itself or other similar operations (unless otherwise stated). -- Configure bugmail: http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug, or are watching the assignee. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
