Using Threadlocal in a singleton class

[Ryan Raina]

hi all

I have a doubt regarding using thread local variables.. consider the following code

public class TestClass{

private static final ThreadLocal<User> userThreadLocal = new ThreadLocal<User>();

public void sampleMethod(){
userThreadLocal.set(new User());
}
	

My first question is I want thread local present in the same class where rest of the methods are also present(On browsing internet everybody is making it in separate class and making thread local object in it ).....i want it in the same class(is the usage correct??)
My top level is singleton ..do I have any issue because of it..Also if threadlocal is static will it have any issue

Thanks in advance

Sorry, it's really not clear what you're asking. Can you try to clarify a bit? Maybe add some examples?

Also, please don't use large blocks of bold text. It's hard to read. Thanks!
