Synchronizing on String Literal GC

[Cristian Daniel Ortiz Cuellar]

hi folks i am close to Try SCJP i have a simple question.

what is wrong on Synchronizing on String Literals i know is shared in the pool. but String is inmutable (noone can change my value) and Pool is not subject to GC.

so what is wrong do it that way.

can somebody give some tips about Synchronizing on String And Wrappers?

thanks a lot.
Sorry by my poor english.

It simply doesn't make sense. Why would you? It makes your program harder to read. You should synchronize on something that you're about to work with.
