Thread synch question

[cornel jew]

Hi all
I was running the following code,but the output is intermixed although the test method is synchronized.
What i understand is when a method is synch no other thread can access that method b4 it is finish
What am i missing here.

class MyThread extends Thread
{  
   public MyThread(String msg)
   {
    super(msg); 
   }
   
     synchronized public void run()
   {
      System.out.println(getName());
      Independent in = new Independent();
      in.test();
   }
}
class Independent
{    synchronized void test()
    {for(int i = 0;i<300;i++)
     {
      System.out.println(i);
     }
    } 
   public static void main(String[] args)
   {
      new MyThread("Thread one").start();
      new MyThread("Thread two").start();
   }
}

Thanks for your help

Moving to the threads forum...

Synchronization, the way you've done it, works on objects, not classes. You've created two objects, so the threads are free to switch between the print outs. If you want them to be synchronized by class, then synchronize a static method ... or, and this is the easier way in your case, don't use two threads.
