Morning Simo, my doubt is this: opening a synchronized block into handler implementation on 'this', in my opinion is not enough, because the method "CommonsGraph.synchronize()" returns a instance of the Proxy and not an instance of handler. So an user cannot use the same "lock" in order to synchronize a block like this:
==== Graph g = CommonsGraph.synchronize(g_); ... synchronized(g) { for ( BaseLabeledVertex v2 : g.getVertices() ) { // do somethings } } ==== So my idea is to open synchronized block inside handler implementation using the same Proxy instance that the method 'CommonsGraph.synchronize' will return. Furthermore I'd like to modify the API by adding also the possibility for the user to use an your own lock, in that way CommonsGraph.synchronize( G graph, Object lock ) WDYT? Finally only one question. I think that we should add some tests in order to check the correct implementation of our multithrading implementation. Do you think that we can use an external library in test scope? have a nice day -- Marco Speranza <marcospera...@apache.org> Google Code: http://code.google.com/u/marco.speranza79/ Il giorno 03/mar/2012, alle ore 13:50, Simone Tripodi ha scritto: > Good morning Marco, > > I had the chance to have a deeper look at your yesterday's night work > and think your additions are good improvements - I just wonder if we > can replace the lock object with the handler itself, referencing > `this` instead. > > Thoughts? > > best and have a nice WE, > -Simo > > http://people.apache.org/~simonetripodi/ > http://simonetripodi.livejournal.com/ > http://twitter.com/simonetripodi > http://www.99soft.org/ > > > > On Sat, Mar 3, 2012 at 1:56 AM, Simone Tripodi <simonetrip...@apache.org> > wrote: >> I saw the commit, please read comments inline. >> best, >> -Simo >> >> http://people.apache.org/~simonetripodi/ >> http://simonetripodi.livejournal.com/ >> http://twitter.com/simonetripodi >> http://www.99soft.org/ >> >> >> >> On Sat, Mar 3, 2012 at 1:40 AM, Marco Speranza <marcospera...@apache.org> >> wrote: >>> Hi I fixed the problem using proxy/handler. >>> >>> I put also a couple of tests.
