[jboss-user] [JBoss Seam] - synchronized keyword in SLSB

Hi, may we use the java keyword "synchronized" on a method of a SLSB to ensure that several statements get executed all together or not at all? I have a method in a SLSB, which updates a counter kept in an Entity bean, if some condition is fulfilled. Afterwards the counter is increased. I want to ensure the integrity of the counter. Because several threads can and will access the method. What would you suggest? This how the pseudo code block looks like: | | public String methodDoesNotBelongToSLSinterface(EnityBeanWithCounter eb) | { | ... | ... | // make sure that no race condition can occur using | synchronized(this) | { | statement1; | statement2; | ... | statementN; | // Increase counter if successful | if (someCondition) | eb.setCounter(eb.getCounter + 1); | } | .... | .... | } | | View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4084564#...
