[jira] Resolved: (DIRSNICKERS-106) DERGeneralizedTime and DERUTCTime are not thread safe

     [ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DIRSNICKERS-106?page=all ]
     
Emmanuel Lecharny resolved DIRSNICKERS-106:
-------------------------------------------

    Resolution: Fixed
     Assign To: Emmanuel Lecharny  (was: Alex Karasulu)

All SimpleDateFormat usage have been synchronized all over the code.

>          Key: DIRSNICKERS-106
>          URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DIRSNICKERS-106
>      Project: Directory ASN1
>         Type: Bug
>   Components: BER Runtime
>     Versions: 0.3.0
>  Environment: Java version "1.5.0_04", Windows XP.
>     Reporter: Tomi Keinonen

> Both classes DERGeneralizedTime and DERUTCTime include a static definition for date format:
>  private static final SimpleDateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat( "yyMMddHHmmss'Z'" );
> Static attribute is used by method:
>     public Date getDate()
>     	throws ParseException
>     {
>         String string = byteArrayToString( value );
>         return dateFormat.parse( string );
>     }
> This fails when multiple threads access getDate concurrently. Calling dateFormat.parse is not synchronized and class SimpleDateFormat is not  internally syncronized. JavaDoc for SimpleDateFormat says:
> "Date formats are not synchronized. It is recommended to create separate format instances for each thread. If multiple threads access a format concurrently, it must be synchronized externally." 
> This causes not to be able to parse multiple DER streams concurrently and limits their usage in server environment.
> Without synchronization dateFormat.parse causes unpredictable errors. For example:
> ---

> 	at java.lang.NumberFormatException.forInputString(Unknown Source)
