Synchronized methods and blocks are implemented in the applet class by acquiring a lock before running
|
| 2 |
Code will therefore not run at the same time as other code that needs access to the same resource.
|
| 3 |
Each object has one lock associated with it and each class has exactly one lock
|
| 4 |
When invoked, a synchronized method waits until it can acquire the lock for the current instance (i.e., this); a static synchronized method waits to acquire the class lock
|
| 5 |
Lock is released when code is done executing
|
| 6 |
Locks are advisory
|
| 7 |
synchronized blocks specify the object on which to synchronize
