[jdom-interest] Thread safe question: OK for simultaneous rea d-only access?

[philip.nelson at omniresources.com]

Wrappers can be implemented very well without interfaces + default
implementation.  ;-)

I agree with the general consensus that a JDOM document doesn't need provide
thread safety.  A specific application could subclass the various JDOM
mutatators it was going to use and syncronize on the Doctype.  If the
Element hadn't been added to a document, it really wouldn't matter much,
unless you were trying to build your own Lists outside of JDOM.  In that
case, there wouldn't be much we could do anyway.

I don't know if anyone works on such thing, but one thing that comes to
mind is that this kind of "wrappers" could be implemented very elegantly
if JDOM were designed in terms of interfaces + default implementation.
