Which thread comes first from wait().

[sachin Dhanvijay]

I want to know when we notify all threads from a wait() method which thread comes out first ...means it comes through priority or through ageing.

It's random - there's no determining which will acquire the lock after notifyAll() is called.

[ANAND RAMKUMAR]

you cannot determine which thread comes out of the wait state and to seek the lock state of the object.ageing is not the concept there.

[Peter Haggar]

One thing you can do to determine which thread runs after a notifyAll is implement the Specific Notification Pattern found here.
