java method synchronization and read/write mutual exclusion

Question

I have two methods read() and write() as below in a class.

class Store
{

  public void write()
  {
    // write to store;
  }

  publi         


        

Answer 1

synchronized is the simplest solution so you should explain what you mean by "doesn't seem like work for me" and perhaps show us how you used it.

The better solution is to use ReentrantReadWriteLock because it allows concurrent access to readers as well.
