[jira] Created: (NET-195) Ntpv3Impl attempts double-checked locking

Ntpv3Impl attempts double-checked locking
-----------------------------------------

                 Key: NET-195
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NET-195
             Project: Commons Net
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Sebb


The NtpV3Impl#getDatagramPacket() method implements double-checked locking, which is known not to work.

The initial "if (dp == null)" condition should be removed; once this is done, the synch block could be removed and the method synchronized instead.

Sebb commented on NET-195:
--------------------------

Given that the method attempts synchronisation, it is presumably intended to be called from multiple threads.

However, the synchronisation is broken, so needs to be fixed.
