SimpleDateFormat.. not Synchronized

[lakshman lakshman]

Hi how to make SimpleDateFormat.. synchronized...

[Joe Ess]

The java documentation for SimpleDateFormat states:

Date formats are not synchronized. It is recommended to create separate format instances for each thread.

If you insist on using one instance, create a class that extends SimpleDateFormat and override every method with a synchronized version. Don't forget the methods that are inherited directly from DateFormat.
