I am running out into this silly problem and I am finding tricky to find what is going wrong!It may have have to do woth Class/Local variable issue also but nor so sure!!
I have a List which is a public class variable .
I store retrevied values into it in a method using 'this'
keyword so that I can access retreived list anywhere in my class.

			

			public class aClass{
			

			public List retreivedList ;
			

			public List syncretreivedList ;
			

			

			private void amethod(String s){
			

			List alist = null;
			

			this.retreivedList = someobject.getRetrevedValues();
			

			//Then perform follwoing things:
			

			alist = this.retreivedList ;
			

			debug("BEFORE ::SIZE =  alist.size()= " + alist.size() );
			

			this.syncretreivedList = Collections.synchronizedList(alist);
			

			/*retreve a portion of buffer size where iBufferSize has some int value*/
			

			this.syncretreivedList.subList(iBufferSize, this.syncretreivedList.size()).clear();
			

			debug("AFTER manipulation :SIZE =  alist.size() = " + alist.size()  + " and this.retreivedList.size() = " + this.retreivedList.size());
			

		

And it prints same sublit size values for both alist.size() as well as this.retreivedList.size() while I want this.retreivedList.size() to print the original value [not after sublist] size.

I have not defined retreivedList as local in my method.

Any help?
