Hello, I have al large Struts 1 application with a modified DispatchAction class. Most action classes are derivatives from this class. In the webapp I have several projects defined. The project can be determined by analysing the URL. This is done in the central DispatchAction-class by using class fields declared as volatile. The execute-Method is declared as synchronized. After reading a lot about thread safety now I´m not sure if this approach is thread safe on a request level. Abbreviated example:
public abstract class DispatchAction extends Action { .... protected volatile long projectId = -1; .... @Override synchronized public ActionForward execute( ActionMapping mapping, ActionForm form, HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws Exception { ... long projectId = Project.getIdFromRequest(request); ... return forward; } When I access projectId from a derived class is this thread safe or have I to implement in the doExecute-Method of each derived action class ? This would be thread safe but comes with a lot of redundant code. Any help would be helpful.
