I am now converting to ConcurrentHashMap. I am assuming this will resolve the issue - has anybody found this not to be the case? I too assumed that the data was safe, much to my peril!

If multiple threads access this map concurrently, and at least one of the threads modifies the map structurally, it must be synchronized externally." I atleast would like to know the why, before someone tells me "You must". Im grown up and dont want to be treated like a child by these "great programmers". Im grateful to the author for pointing out the specific problem and hope that all these top down arguers will run into a similar problem themselves. @MAno "I think data integrity is one of the basic goals when writing ANY kind of real-world application" thats your opinion and you may want to consider that there are other valid opinions out there than just yours. I agree fully with the author who is not blaming anyone, that the JavaDoc COULD be more verbose than a simple: "you must". “Note that this implementation is not synchronized.
