----------------------------------------
Hi Olivier,
be aware that there is already:
# a [patch|WW-3580] which sensibly reduces the synchronized code using
something like the double check idiom.
# an old [opensymphony patch|http://jira.opensymphony.com/browse/OGNL-101]
which, if I recall correctly, uses concurrent version of the map implementation.
It would be very interesting to compare this 3 different approaches. Before
that, I think we would need a performance test bench.

> I've noticed a lot of synchronized blocks of code in OGNL. For the most part,
> these synchronized blocks are controlling access to HashMaps, etc. I believe
> this could be done far better using ReentrantReadWriteLocks.
> ReentrantReadWriteLock allows unlimited concurrent access, and single threads
> only for writes. Perfect in an environment where the ratio of reads is far
> higher than writes; which is typically the scenario for caching. Plus the
> access control can be tuned for reads and writes; not just a big
> synchronized{} wrapping a bunch of code.
