I'm not exactly sure I'm correct but I wanted to note this.
In the documentation it is written that If multiple threads must access a static formatter, the formatter must be synchronized either on method or block level.. But mustn't the formatter be synchronized on the class instead of on the instance if it is a static one? Going through the Java source code of SimpleDateFormat for example I can see that this is indeed the case. If I am correct, than the example in the documentation (and the check itself) is wrong:
public class Foo {
private static final SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat();
void bar() {
sdf.format(); // poor, no thread-safety
}
synchronized void foo() {
sdf.format(); // preferred
}
}
Rather, it should be:
public class Foo {
private static final SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat();
void bar() {
sdf.format(); // poor, no thread-safety
}
void foo() {
synchronized (Foo.class) {
sdf.format(); // preferred
}
}
}
Am I mistaken somewhere?
