Hi All,

Since synchronization on static methods is a class level locking a second
thread can't access the method until first thread releases the lock. The
static method has synchronized as shown below.

public class B{
public *synchronized* static void staticMethod(String a){
    }
}

If this method calls by another class (Class A), then do I have to use a
synchronized block as shown below to avoid multiple threads accessing the
static method?

Public class A {
*private static Object lock = new Object();*

public static void main(String[] args){
    *synchronized(lock){*
           B.staticMethod("hello");
                        *}*
               }
      }

Can someone provide a solution on this ?

Sohani
