+/**
+ * ThreadLocal pattern
+ *
+ * This App shows how to create an isolated space per each thread. In this
+ * example the usage of SimpleDateFormat is made to be thread-safe. This is an
+ * example of the ThreadLocal pattern.
+ *
+ * By applying the ThreadLocal pattern you can keep track of application
+ * instances or locale settings throughout the handling of a request. The
+ * ThreadLocal class works like a static variable, with the exception that it is
+ * only bound to the current thread! This allows us to use static variables in a
+ * thread-safe way.
+ *
+ * In Java, thread-local variables are implemented by the ThreadLocal class
+ * object. ThreadLocal holds a variable of type T, which is accessible via get/set
+ * methods.
+ *
+ * SimpleDateFormat is one of the basic Java classes and is not thread-safe. If
+ * you do not isolate the instance of SimpleDateFormat per each thread then
+ * problems arise.
+ *
+ * App converts the String date value 15/12/2015 to the Date format using the
+ * Java class SimpleDateFormat. It does this 20 times using 4 threads, each doing
+ * it 5 times. With the usage of as ThreadLocal in DateFormatCallable everything
+ * runs well. But if you comment out the ThreadLocal variant (marked with "//TLTL")
+ * and comment in the non ThreadLocal variant (marked with "//NTLNTL") you can
+ * see what will happen without the ThreadLocal. Most likely you will get incorrect
+ * date values and / or exceptions.
+ *
+ * This example clearly show what will happen when using non thread-safe classes
+ * in a thread. In real life this may happen one in of 1.000 or 10.000 conversions
+ * and those are really hard to find errors.
