[Opensource] SimpleDateFormat

[Ben Switzer]

Ahh wicked.

Thanks for the tip.

On another note.  I would be interested in assisting with the code walk
through.  Not sure if I can bring enough experience to the table, but
after my current project, which ends next week, I'll have time to lend
an extra set of eye balls to the cause.

Let me know.

Best,
Ben

I wouldn't worry about direct use  I think JDBCUtil is too much in flux
to 
externally rely on it.

To rolly your own  Create a static org.apache.commons.collections.LRUMap

keyed by Locale that store SimpleDateFormat Objects.  when you need to 
format against a particular locale  [ControllerRequest.getLocale()],
look 
it up in the LRUMap, and if it exists use it, if it doesn't exist,
create a 
new one for the locale and store it in the LRUMap.  Make sure you 
synchronize against the Map for each access.

Depending on your capabilities, you probably don't need to have the map 
larger that 5.

HTH!

[For those that are scratching their heads regarding the greek I just 
spoke, LRUMap is a java.util.Map implementation that keeps X items in
store 
and whenever more are stored, the map ejects items based upon the least 
recently used algorithm.  So in essence, it's a built in simple cache 
implementation useful for certain tasks]
