The following code won't work, the waiting thread won't be awaken. I think the problem is it's waiting for a monitor associated with it's own object, thus the notify() call won't wake it up. How can I implement the similar senario?

public class TestThread

{

public static void main( String [] s )

{

new Thread1().start();

new Thread2().start();

}

}



class Thread1 extends Thread

{

private String name;

public Thread1()

{

name = "Thread 1";

}



public void run()

{

while( true )

runThread1();

}



private void runThread1()

{

System.out.println("Thread 1 started...");

try {

wait();

} catch ( InterruptedException e ) {}

System.out.println("Thread 1 waken up");

}

}



class Thread2 extends Thread

{

private String name;

public Thread2()

{

name = "Thread 2";

}

public void run()

{

runThread2();

}



private void runThread2()

{

while( true )

{

System.out.println("Thread 2 started...");

//try to wake up thread1

getInput();

if( certain input )

notify();

System.out.println("Notified...");

}

}

}

.
