java mutexes
by Daniel Molina Wegener on 14-12-2009Java synchronization is usually made through the synchronized keyword. Synchronized allow users to create a mutex around certain variable, class or method, where a mutex allows concurrent access to it. By concurrent access we should understand access from multiple threads. If an operation is atomic, there one and only one process or thread executing it. Then, mutex based operations are atomic.
