A few notes: 1. volatile has been available since the beginning. JDK 1.5 is not required. 2. volatile only refers to a particular variable, not an object. In this case, the object /reference/ will be 'volatile', and therefore will not be stored in the thread's local cache. 3. Since we're talking about a singleton, the reference's value should never change across the life of the application (assuming that the singleton has been correctly implemented) Using volatile in this case will not add anything at all. - -chris -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFGABo39CaO5/Lv0PARAprgAJ446cu5g+9seW4y+gYJRVw6is4OhQCbBaRB r/Ws4nPdmjNcYmLvk4Vq4f8= =vaIY -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
