There are quite a lot of public mutable static fields in the current Tomcat6 codebase.
Such fields can allow malicious or accidental changes to occur, so should be avoided as far as possible. [And if a class has public mutable static fields it's generally impossible to make it thread-safe.] The code also has quite a lot of public mutable instance fields, which are almost as bad. Is there any interest in fixing these? If so, I can create patches for many of them. Some classes might need redesigning. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@tomcat.apache.org
