RE: Thread-safety question

[Pim Tjeertes]

Hi Andy,

 

The method is only thread safe in case you make the either the method or the
entire class synchronized.

Otherwise it's not thread safe.

 

Well working with just one thread would not get you in trouble either of
course. ;-)

Hi Pim,

 

I I were to leave the method as is, would the method not be thread-safe?

 

I ask because this method is part of a library I am using.

 

Thanks-

Hi Andy,

 

Making your method synchronized should take care of thread safety issues.

 

Kind regards,

Pim

Hi, I have a method below that unmarshals an input stream and since I will
have many concurrent invocations of this method, I was wondering if there
would be any Thread-safety issues?  I'm not a threading expert but just
wanted to make sure the XmlObject.Factory.parse() method wouldn't cause any
issues.

 

    protected final Object unmarshalInputStream(InputStream inputStream)
throws XmlMappingException, IOException {

        try {

            XmlObject object = XmlObject.Factory.parse(inputStream,
getXmlOptions());

            validate(object);

            return object;

        }

        catch (XmlException ex) {

            throw convertXmlBeansException(ex, false);

        }

    }

 

 

Thanks-
