Thread synchronization

[shashank dwivedi]

class A
{
   public  static synchronized void method1()
   {
       //implementation of method1
   }
}
class B
{
   public  static synchronized void method2()
   {
       //implementation of method2
   }
}

suppose we have two threads t1 and t2.
t1 is accessing static synchronized method of A.
can t2 access simultaneously static synchronized method of B??

Yes, because the methods are defined in different classes they synchronize on different locks. Had they been defined in a single class, then no.

Hi shashank dwivedi,

As the methods are defined in different classes the locks will be different. The synchronization will depend on the object for the class you initialized. If you are accessing a method of a class that is synchronized using obj1 object then obj2 object of that class cannot access same synchronized method.
