Shared object / concurrency

Hi folks,

I have an object that is shared by several threads and is an observer. This object has the following methods:

Considering several threads share this object to invoke the execute() method and that the update() method is receiving thousands of notifications from the observable, do I need to synchronize the code inside mehotd update, like this:

Thanks a lot!

I certainly would.

Note that there is a lot that could be going on in the Observers, you certainly don't want multiple Threads doing this "simultaneously."

Hi Bill,

I've synchronized and it seems it is working.

Thanks!

it seems it is working.

Well thats the tricky thing about multi-threaded programming - it is realllllly hard to test all possible sequences of events for potential collision.
