Synchronized Servlet

[udayadas]

Just for the sake of testing...i declared by doGet()/doPost() as synchronized.It works.

But what could it actually mean.Does that make my servlet a single threaded servlet.

It means you only get one connection at a time. Any additional connection would wait until the connections before it are finished.

Hello

Yes . means at time only one thread can enter in doGet()/doPost() method.but this is not standard programming, Instead of used synchronized block on code,when you expect that more than 2 threads may operate on your code and they may inconsistent your data.

It means you won't be able to handle any load. Your application will not scale.

This is a crude solution that is not recommended.

If you want performance then used synchronized block

If you want performance then used synchronized block

This is way to general. And perhaps misleading. There is no difference between using a synchronized block and using synchronization on an object with the same scope as the block. The compiler just does the same thing as you would manually.

If you want to get performance and scaling, you have to carefully decide what needs synchronization and what types of locking it needs. The key is to obtain the fewest locks and locks of the weakest strength practical, for the shortest time.

Look at things like java.util.concurrent.locks.ReentrantReadWriteLock
