    Default Synchronized Methods problem!

    Hi,

    I have an assignment that needs to use synchronized methods, what I have to do is create a supermarket app in Java where I set a favourite item/product's ID and retrieve it however those two methods need to use synchronized methods. Also I am using a GUI, so how do I implement that into two buttons?

    e.g. Set Favourte, Retrieve Favourite?

       private void jButton3ActionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt) {                                         
     
        }                                        
     
        private void jButton6ActionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt) {                                         
     
        }   
     
     synchronized public void retrieveFav()throws InterruptedException {
     
        }
     
        synchronized public void setFav()throws InterruptedException {
     
        }

    Default Re: Synchronized Methods problem!

    See the following link: Using Synchronized Methods
    I presume you need to synchronize the method because of multithreading (you don't mention threads at all)? If so, be careful making calls to a Swing GUI - all processes unless otherwise noted in the API should be placed onto the swing event dispatch thread (see Swing and Threads
