Hi all,
Is it safe to assume that JAVA API's are thread safe?
JAXP for example, are any of the stabdard api's not thread safe?
Thanks,
Noel

Most standard libraries (or third party libraries for that matter) are not thread safe. Any library which is threadsafe will almost certainly state that fact explicitly in its javadocs.
 
I agree. Here's the link: http://zeroturnaround.com/jrebel - it saves me about five hours per week
