Class NonshareableDateFormatCache

java.lang.Object

org.ka2ddo.util.NonshareableDateFormatCache

public class NonshareableDateFormatCache
extends Object

This class provides a cache of SimpleDateFormat objects, such that they don't have to be recreated over and over, yet the users can be reasonably assured that no one else is using the instance they are using.

Note this class does not wrap the SimpleDateFormat objects to ensure they are not being used by threads that didn't actually request them. That can be added if problems still occur.
