Let's say that I have a single instance of an object, and several references to that object. If I create a synchronized block that synchronizes on one of the object references, is access to the object instance synchronized, or is access to only the reference synchronized? ...Mike Broadbear

Done. As for your question - you're really synchronizing on the object, not the reference. Multiple references to the same object are treated equally - the first to attempt to acquire a lock will get it, and the rest will wait.
