static synchronized / synchronized Threads

[kri shan]

Scenario1
------------

Public class Test {

static synchronized int test1() {

}

synchronized int test2() {

}
}

Whether both test1 and test2 will acquire the lock at the same time or after Thread1(calls test1) releases the lock only Thread2(calls test2) will get the lock?

scenario2
-----------
Public class Test {

synchronized int test1() {

}

synchronized int test2() {

}
}

Whether both test1 and test2 will acquire the lock at the same time or after Thread1(calls test1) releases the lock only Thread2(calls test2) will get the lock?

It's pretty easy (and quick) to write a program that will test this. Why don't you take a shot at it, and report back what you see?

If I recall correctly, static and non-static synchronized methods are synchronized on different object, in the latter case it's "this", while in the former it's a class. So these two methods are not really synchronized against each other whatsoever.
Speaking of Scenario 2, these methods are synchronized on "this" so there's no way for them to acquire the lock at the same time a someone will have to wait.
