Message:
synchronize a static method
Posted by raghuramrao on July 26, 2000 at 12:20 AM
Hello Kishori Sharma, Thanx a lot.
I like to know one thing!
Since Static objects are class objects...,
does a static method uses same memory place
for all the objects of that class ?.
If that is the case I presume that....
in the previous senario,
all the objects of that class should wait until the
lock is released by the current thread.Am I correct !?. thanx in advance.
