Singleton pattern and broken double checked locking in real world java application?

It would be difficult for someone to be sure that their application had actually been hit by a double-checked lock failure. Indeed, many applications that used this idiom may never experience the problem for a variety of reasons.

We had an application which used a broken double-check idiom, and it functioned perfectly for a very long time - no, in fact, I have never experienced problems with this idiom. Of course I fixed it regardless of that.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
