I am evaluating struts and have a question about something I read in the O'Reilly Jakarta Struts book. Specifically it says to not use the synchronized keyword and to avoid Vector and Hashtable at all. Considering that our system has been for a long time, this is actually a huge thing for us.
Is this still an issue in Struts 1.2? Is this statement only true if we use the taglibs? If we just use the controlling framework, we would be ok? I really need to understand this in much more detail other than just the blanket statement: don't use the synchronized keyword. Is there a write up somewhere on this? Googling didn't yield any decent hits. Thanks! Randy
