Wonder: ERXTimestampFormatter.dateFormatterForPattern( pattern )
I am moving my code away from using date format strings in the format
bindings in my .wod and looking up old email threads about the
deprecation of NSTimestampFormatter. This class suggested by Kieran
returns an NSTimestampFormatter. Can I safely continue to use
NSTimestampFormatter for now or am I missing a WOnder alternative
that uses Pierre's recommendation of SimpleDateFormat?

If you're allocating all the objects you deal with inside your
components, you probably aren't faced with many issues, but any
time you start considering anything that is shared, you have to
consider the fact that java is natively multi-threaded, and there
are always other threads running, even if you're not concurrently
handling requests.
True that.
For instance, if you always instantiate a formatter inside your
component and that thread is the only one that know about it, you
should be fine. However, if you're sharing an instance (usually
for performance reasons), you need to be aware of the fact that
it could be called from multiple places at the same time.
Looking at them both, as long as you are not changing the format
pattern, time zone, etc. and _only_ using them for formatting,
they should be re-entrant. I would not swear to it thought. I
have never had a problem using NSTimestampFormatter like this
(cached at app level, shared across all threads).

I'm sure Pierre could answer this better than anyone else, but
I always lock
NSTimestampFormatter when used in multi-threaded situations...

Also note that unlike NSTimestampFormatter, SimpleDateFormat
is not thread

non-thread
safe.
