How can i lock a method.

I want only one thread to execute a

method. Other threads have to wait till
the first one gets completed.

Synchronized locks only the object not the
method. Is it advisable to go for static synchronized method

Suggest some ideas

Actually, synchronized locks only the method, not the code. Read the docs more carefully. Using synchronized will do exactly what you want, really, I promise.

One solution would be to create a generic static object for the Class to serve as a lock then synchronize on the lock after entering the method, as such:


public class MyClass {

    private static final Object lock = new Object();

   //Constructors
   //Other Methods

    private void myMethod(){
           synchronized(lock){
              //SYNCHRONIZED CODE HERE
            }
    }
}
