What problem does it solve?

Jahia backend concurrency issues can lead to data races, stale reads, and subtle failures. This skill provides patterns and guidelines to ensure thread-safe development and review.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Immutability — prefer final fields, use records for configs, and return copies or unmodifiable views.
• Proper synchronization primitives — when to use volatile, atomic variables, synchronized blocks, and locks, and how to avoid common pitfalls.
• Safe resource handling — never share JCR sessions across threads; isolate per-thread access and lifecycle.
• Thread-safe collections and patterns — appropriate use of concurrent collections and atomic operators to avoid race conditions.
• Design guidance — minimize locked time, avoid IO inside critical sections, and clearly document thread-safety contracts.

Quick Start

Audit a Jahia backend class for thread-safety issues and apply the described patterns to ensure safe concurrent access.
