Java Thread wait() => blocked?
- by Chris
According to http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/lang/Thread.State.html calling wait() will result a thread to go in BLOCKED state. However this piece of code will result (after being called) in a Thread in WAITING State.
class bThread extends Thread {
public synchronized void run() {
try {
wait();
} catch (InterruptedException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
Have I got something wrong? Can anybody explain this behaviour to me?
Any help would be appreciated!
