Interface ReadWriteLock
public interface ReadWriteLock
A ReadWriteLock maintains a pair of associated locks, one for read-only operations
and one for writing. The read lock may be held simultaneously by multiple reader
threads, so long as there are no writers. The write lock is exclusive.
This interface is a back-port of the
java.util.concurrent.locks.ReadWriteLock
class that first appeared in J2SE 1.5. Due to a requirement for sophisticated
concurrency, this interface has been back-ported for use in J2SE 1.4 (and greater).
It shares similar method signatures to be consistent with the J2SE 1.5 API.
readLock
public Lock readLock()
Return the lock used for reading.
writeLock
