Hi

Consider a case where I have 2 methods,1 is synchronized and other is static synchronized.Both these methods are called from the run mthd().

Lets suppose one thread is calling static synchronized method.Its still under process.Can another thread call the other non static synchronized method

Short answer: yes.



A synchronized method acquires the associated lock before entering the method body. In the case of an instance method, the lock is the object itself. In the case of a static method, the class acts as the lock. See chapter 17.13 in the Java Language Specification.
