Just curious: what the heck are you doing that's required to use a JRE
that's already been past end-of-line for some time now?

Sorry I can't help you with the library you need...

To put it in another way, I want to use an OSGi service which is stored
in a map as explained in the felix turorial at
http://felix.apache.org/site/apache-felix-tutorial-example-6.html
There, the map is called "m_refToObjMap". Objects are added to it in a
synchronized way and iteration over it are done in a synchronized way as
well.
I want to avoid the overhead of synchronizing the iterations. I am
willing to pay for a higher cost at insertion (as for example copying
the data in the Map) for an unsynchronized (thus faster) iteration over
the map because I expect only one or two insertions, but millions of
iterations.

My question now boils down to the following: How can I do this in thread
safe manner. (one solution would be to use a CopyOnWriteHashMap which I
was asking for in the first place, but which I could not find).

Thanks for any replies
Phil
