**[Franz Wong](https://jira.spring.io/secure/ViewProfile.jspa?name=franzwong)** opened **[SPR-16173](https://jira.spring.io/browse/SPR-16173?redirect=false)** and commented I think the current implementation is thread safe.

Thanks. --- **Referenced from:** commits https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-framework/commit/de782026c459d2357ba06b108fd3e2f3e2784924, https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-framework/commit/2c8a6bb6f50af48069883c83e9b9569cd6bcc446 **Backported to:** [4.3.13](https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-framework/milestone/162?closed=1)
