The following code is in the SCJP6 book
class ThreadA {
public static void main(String [] args) {
ThreadB b = new ThreadB();
b.start();
synchronized(b) {
try {
System.out.println("Waiting for b to complete...");
b.wait();
} catch (InterruptedException e) {}
System.out.println("Total is: " + b.total);
}
}
}
class ThreadB extends Thread {
int total;
public void run() {
synchronized(this) {
for(int i=0;i<100;i++) {
total += i;
}
notify();
}
}
}
Won't the previous code cause a deadlock as both thread a and b have a lock on b (in the respective synchronized blocks)?
I am missing something, but not quite sure what it is.
