Description
|
Just create a program having lots of threads
which format dates with:
dateFormatter.format(new Date());
When I use the format pattern:
[dd/MMM/yyyy:HH:mm:ss z]
I get formatted dates like the following:
[05/May/1998:14:46:33 PDT]
[05/May/1998:14:46:34 PDT]
[0005/May/1998:14:46:34 PDT]
[05/May/1998:14:46:34 PDT]
[05/May/1998:14:46:34 PDT]
[0005/May/1998:14:46:0034 PDT]
[0005/May/1998:14:46:0034 PDT]
[05/May/1998:14:46:0034 PDT]
[0005/May/1998:14:46:0034 PDT]
[0005/May/1998:14:0046:34 PDT]
[05/May/1998:14:0046:34 PDT]
(with lots of extra zeros here and there).

Work Around
|
The workaround is to put a synchronized block
around every place where I format dates with
their common formatter:
synchronized (dateFormatter) {
dateFormatter.format(new Date());
}
Why not simply make date formatting thread safe
in the same way you've just fixed the problem
with number formatting (Bug Id 4101500).
