java - calling synchronized method from inside synchronized while waiting

Question

is it possible to call a synchronized method from inside a synchronized method while waiting for resource to become available (using wait())? thanks

Answer 1

Java's mutexes are recursive, so you can invoke a synchronized method recursively or invoke another synchronized method for which you already hold a lock. You will need to tell us what it is you are specifically trying to do, though.... lots of stuff with thread locking/synchronization, if done incorrectly, can lead to deadlock, and it isn't entirely clear from your question what you are attempting to do.
