My opinion is that the config objects should be immutable. Then, you don't have to worry about synchronization issues. You'd just have the reconfigure(Config) method (which is called by the constructor). The reconfigure method would take care of making sure it locks down (synchronizes) everything while he does all the reconfiguring of the pool. I would probably suggest a read/write lock. Folks who want to borrow an object from the pool or return and object to the pool would be obtaining the "read" lock. When you are in the middle of reconfiguring the pool, you'd obtain the "write" lock. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@commons.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@commons.apache.org
