Hi,

If Object.wait( ) method is called from a synchronized method,then the current thread will move to the waiting state until some other thread invokes the notify ( ) or notifyAll ( ) method on this object.

Can any body tell me that when the thread moves to the waiting state,will it release the lock ?

Thanks.

Yes!

(if it didn't, no other thread could call notify...because you have to have the lock to call those methods)

Remember, javadoc is your friend!
