Hello ,
I want to lock a HashMap for writers and readers only if someone is writing, but if only there are reader threads i don't want to lock it.
Someone can tell me if Collections.synchronizedMap(new HashMap()) is what i'm looking for??, or i have to do it manually.
Best Regards. Elena

No, Collections.synchronizedMap(new HashMap()) offers only pretty raw locking.

Check out http://gee.cs.oswego.edu/dl/classes/EDU/oswego/cs/dl/util/concurrent/intro.html

In particular: ConcurentReaderHashMap

For more info on concurrency I can highly recommend Doug Lea's book. It's the best you can get...
