static blocks are run with the class - right? So it's really irrelevant how many instances get created - that code is run a maximum of one time - when the class is first loaded.

Am I wrong?

I like Max's suggestion though. I think I will move it to the
setFormatPattern for sure. Correct me if I'm wrong here...

Since the registration of this Converter takes places in a static
block in the top of my DispatchAction the setFormatPattern should
only be called once, since isn't only once instance of my
DispatchAction created (and thus only one initial load in the
static block?). I guess I could be extra careful and synchronize
setFormatPattern since I don't think that should incur too much
overhead since in my situation I can imagine more than one
instance of the Action class being created.
