Java Multithreading: How to Synchronize Threads for Concurrent Access [message #1860981] Wed, 13 September 2023 07:46 Go to next message

I'm working on a Java application that involves multiple threads accessing shared resources concurrently. I'm concerned about potential data races and inconsistencies due to concurrent access. What's the best way to ensure thread safety and synchronize access to shared resources in Java?

For example, let's say I have a shared counter variable accessed by multiple threads. Here's a simplified version of what I have:

public class SharedResource {
    private int counter = 0;

    public void increment() {
        // Increment the counter
    }

    public int getValue() {
        // Return the current value of the counter
    }
}


How can I modify this code to ensure that multiple threads can safely increment the counter without conflicts? What synchronization mechanisms and Java keywords should I use? Additionally, are there any common pitfalls to watch out for when working with multithreaded Java applications?

Your guidance and code examples on achieving thread safety in Java would be highly appreciated. Thank you!
