Am I correct in supposing that this only applies to a situation where the exception is thrown out of the method?If a synchronized method throws an exception in its execution, any locks acquired by the method are released automatically.
If an exception is thrown during a method's execution, but it's caught within that method, would any acquired locks would still be held?
For example
Code: Select all
class SynchronizedMethodTest{
synchronized void m(){
try{
//do dangerous stuff
throw new Exception();
}catch(Exception e){}
//method still has lock on class instance at this point? [A]
}
public static void main(String[] args){
new SynchronizedMethodTest().m();
}
}
