join() confusion

[Poonam Kohli]

Hi all,

I understand that t.join() would join the current thread to thread t.

Thread.currentThread().join() would make the current thread wait for itself and so make the program not terminate.

But what is join() in itself. I was playing with it and am really confused by behavious. Can someone explain?

What i am doing is

join()


thanks so much.

What are you confused at?? You know both the rules. Did you try to call join() directly in a non-static method of a Thread sub-class??
