[jira] [Resolved] (HTTPCLIENT-1230) BasicClientConnectionManager is not thread safe, remove @ThreadSafe annotation

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HTTPCLIENT-1230?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Oleg Kalnichevski resolved HTTPCLIENT-1230.
-------------------------------------------

       Resolution: Fixed
    Fix Version/s:     (was: 4.2.2)
                   4.3 Alpha1

It turned out the javadocs were fairly accurate. I made some minor changes to stress out the fact that the connection manager should be used by one thread only even though it is fully thread safe.

> I would like to suggest removing the @ThreadSafe annotation on BasicClientConnectionManager.  The javadoc clearly notes "it ought to be used by one execution thread only".  Seems like a basic contradiction.
> Perhaps I am fundamentally not understanding the @ThreadSafe annotation.  I thought that meant the class either has no static fields and/or creates all new objects and/or handles all necessary synchronization so that any number of threads may share an instance. What does it mean here, on a class that wraps a single connection for which access must be synchronized?
> Yes, after this problem bit us we switched to using PoolingClientConnectionManager.  
> Thanks for considering this issue.
