RE: Thread-safety question

Hi Pim,
I I were to leave the method as is, would the method not be thread-safe?
I ask because this method is part of a library I am using.
Thanks-

Hi Andy, Making your method synchronized should take care of thread safety issues. Kind regards,Pim From: Andy [mailto:[email protected]]

Subject: Thread-safety question Hi, I have a method below that unmarshals an input stream and since I will have many concurrent invocations of this method, I was wondering if there would be any Thread-safety issues?  I'm not a threading expert but just wanted to make sure the XmlObject.Factory.parse() method wouldn't cause any issues.     protected final Object unmarshalInputStream(InputStream inputStream) throws XmlMappingException, IOException {        try {            XmlObject object = XmlObject.Factory.parse(inputStream, getXmlOptions());            validate(object);            return object;        }        catch (XmlException ex) {            throw convertXmlBeansException(ex, false);        }    }  Thanks-
