Thread-safe-ness

[paulmillar]

It seems that the DefaultVOMSACParser is not thread safe. As DefaultVOMSValidator (that VOMSValidators returns an instance of) depends on DefaultVOMSACParser, it is also not thread safe.

It would be nice if the JavaDoc mentioned this. For completeness, perhaps it should be mentioned in VOMSValidators, DefaultVOMSValidator and DefaultVOMSACParser.

Hi Paul,
I would say both are thread safe. Can you clarify ?

[paulmillar]

Sorry, me bad. Perhaps you could add a comment saying they are thread-safe :-)

You could also mention somewhere that calls make use of mutual exclusion, so requests from multiple threads will be processed serially.

Cheers,

Paul.

Ok, will improve the docs.
Please refer to this jira issue:
https://issues.infn.it/jira/browse/VOMS-93

Will close this issue.

Thanks!
