DateLocaleConverter is not thread-safe

hmmm....

i take it that you are referring to:

<code>
public class DateLocaleConverter extends BaseLocaleConverter {

    // ----------------------------------------------------- Instance Variables

    /** All logging goes through this logger */
    private static Log log = LogFactory.getLog(DateLocaleConverter.class);

    /** The Date formatter */
    private SimpleDateFormat formatter = getPattern(pattern, locale);
</code>

right?

i'm not convinced by your assertion that this is not thread safe. i think that constructors are by their 
nature non-reentrant (for an instance) and effectively act as if the method (and any called either directly 
or indirectly from within a constructor) is synchronized.

of course, i'd be happy to be proved wrong if you can supply a solid reference or a good test case 
demonstrating the problem.
