Class SimpleDateFormat

java.lang.Object
  java.text.Format
      java.text.DateFormat
          java.text.SimpleDateFormat
              nl.knowledgeplaza.util.text.SimpleDateFormat

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Cloneable

public class SimpleDateFormat
extends SimpleDateFormat

Java's SimpleDateFormat is not thread safe, this class is. http://www.javacodegeeks.com/2010/07/java-best-practices-dateformat-in.html For performance it uses a ThreadLocal variable instead of synchronization. All method calls to the Format class or higher are redirected to the class in the ThreadLocal. This means that there are two instances of java.text.SimpleDateFormat - one which this class is extending - one in the ThreadLocal (or possible more if this class is used by multiple threads)
