thread lock

[ankur rathi]

join() method doesn't return lock .

synchronized public void m() {
// some code
t.start();
t.join(); // line2
// spme code
}

Suppose the thread which is executing m method has lock , In line 2 we are joining this thread to t , so it will wait untill t will do its work , at the time of waiting also it has lock ... right ??

thanks a lot .

join() will wait until the run() method of the t thread finishes. And it does not give up it's lock while waiting.
