Exploiting ThreadLocal to enhance scalability
- The ThreadLocal class appeared with little fanfare in version 1.2 of the Java platform. While support for thread-local variables has long been a part of many threading facilities, such as the Posix pthreads facility, the initial design of the Java Threads API lacked this useful feature.

This article examines ThreadLocal and offers tips for exploiting its power.
