Static methods in concurrency

811242Feb 10 2011 — edited Feb 10 2011
I have a static method which takes a few String and double parameters and contains only local variables. When it is called by multiple threads there seems to be an exception thrown intermittenly. I got a little paranoid and so I've changed it to an instance method, and now the problem seems to disappear.

Is this just a coincidence? Is my static method intrinsically thread-safe? Or are there any concurrency issues with static methods that I'm not aware of?

Any reply is much appreciated!

There is some coverage of this in my Blueprint on Virtualisation and Solaris Cluster [Virtualisation and Solaris Cluster,|http://wikis.sun.com/display/BluePrints/Using+Solaris+Cluster+and+Sun+Cluster+Geographic+Edition] IIRC. (This paper is due an update though!)

Hopefully others will chime in with their experiences of the products.
