[jetty-dev] FormAuthenticator, synchronization

[Oliver Wulff <owulff@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi there

In the FormAuthenticator, you synchronize on the session variable which is local. What is the purpose of the synchronization?

                    synchronized(session)
                    {
                        nuri = (String) session.getAttribute(__J_URI);

                        if (nuri == null || nuri.length() == 0)
                        {
                            nuri = request.getContextPath();
                            if (nuri.length() == 0)
                                nuri = URIUtil.SLASH;
                        }
                    }

Thanks
Oli
