101 <P>
102 <p>FastDateFormat is a fast and thread-safe version of
103 <CODE>SimpleDateFormat</CODE>.</p>
104
105 <p>This class can be used as a direct replacement to
106 <code>SimpleDateFormat</code> in most formatting situations.
107 This class is especially useful in multi-threaded server environments.
108 <code>SimpleDateFormat</code> is not thread-safe in any JDK version,
109 nor will it be as Sun have closed the bug/RFE.
110 </p>
111
112 <p>Only formatting is supported, but all patterns are compatible with
113 SimpleDateFormat (except time zones - see below).</p>
114
115 <p>Java 1.4 introduced a new pattern letter, <code>'Z'</code>, to represent
116 time zones in RFC822 format (eg. <code>+0800</code> or <code>-1100</code>).
117 This pattern letter can be used here (on all JDK versions).</p>
118
119 <p>In addition, the pattern <code>'ZZ'</code> has been made to represent
120 ISO8601 full format time zones (eg. <code>+08:00</code> or <code>-11:00</code>).
121 This introduces a minor incompatibility with Java 1.4, but at a gain of
122 useful functionality.</p>
