Junit test for synchronized method

[Maria Laxmi]

Hi,

Is there a good way to test that a method is synchronized in a JUnit test? I have used synchronized method for J2EE application.

Thanks,

Wouldn't you just test it like any other method?

[Maria Laxmi]

My concern is to test when multiple threads try to call synchronized method at the same time. Is there any way we can catch this scenario in Junit Testcase?

Sure; set up a bunch of threads and have them call it. But that seems like unit-testing the "synchronized" keyword to me.
