Mark, Would you please look at changing Vector to ArrayList, and also look at implementing a cache using a SoftReference?
Use the SoftReference to point to the current member Collection. Clear it when subscribing a new member. To support manual database changes, we can add an administrative command to also clear the SoftReference. This would cut down on user repository operations, and associated heap churning, in an active mailing list server. --- Noel --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
