basically race condition occurs when two or more process try to read and write on a shared data.. its caused due to deadlock..do you know how to handle this problem if occured??

winny, java has provided synchronization to tackle the RACE CONDITIONS, which means two (or more) threads are competing for a single resource. If the access is not mutually exclusive,( i.e. while one thread is updating/accessing a variable any other thread cannot acces/update the value of this particular variable), then this perticular resource would end up in having inconsistent state.

One at a time acces (i.e. synchronization) helps us overcome this problem.

Synchronization can be provided by different ways, e.g. using synchronized block or synchronized method. There are many links which have detailed explainations regarding these two approaches.

However if you have hit on any particular problem, post it, so that people can help you.

Mean while you can refer this link for detailed information.

synchronization is the only way as per my knowledge, to tackle this situation.

Following code would help if you are particularly looking at prod-consumer problem.



Check it out, hope this will be helpful.
