Why do you have to specify, which object has locked a synchronized block of code?
You don't have to specify which object has locked a synchronized method as it is always locked by 'this' (I believe).
I have two questions:
- Why can't you block a none static method with an object other than'this' ?
- Why do you have to specify the object that has blockedsynchronized code?
I have read chapter nine of SCJP for Java 6, but I am still not clear on this.
I realize it is probably a basic question, but I am new to Threading.
