After all, if it doesn't have to work, I can make it a LOT faster.
In this case, it looks like the problem with SimpleDateFormat is manageable with synchronization. SDF can leak some of its internal state with get/setCalendar. Since in the connectors DateTool, the formatter instance is private, and get/setCalendar is never called, syncing on the instance should be sufficient. It looks like the same problem exists in catalina's DateTool. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
