Yes. Monitor lock need to be put on code (preferred) or method wherever they
care accessed by more than one thread.
Example:
static void doSort (int [] arr)
{
..
synchronized(arr)
{
// sensitive code
}
}
.method static doSort([I)V
aload_0
monitorenter
; sensitive code
monitorexit
...
return
end method
