> In method setSharedState of class VTIResultSet, double checked locking idiom is used. But the field compileTimeConstants involved in the idiom is not declared with volatile modifier, which is incorrect. Declare the field compileTimeConstants with modifier volatile can quickly fix the problem. Below link and description explain the details.

> "The double-checked locking idiom (also called the multithreaded singleton pattern) is a trick designed to support lazy initialization while avoiding the overhead of synchronization. Sometimes it doesn't work correctly since the writes initializing the object and the write to the field storing the object instance can be reordered by the compiler or the cache, which would have the effect of returning what appears to be a partially constructed object instance. The result would be that we read an uninitialized object. In JVMs 1.5 or above, the use of the volatile keyword in field declaration would eliminate the problems."
