Classes in java.util.concurrent.locks used by java.util.concurrent.locks
Class and Description
AbstractOwnableSynchronizer A synchronizer that may be exclusively owned by a thread.
AbstractQueuedLongSynchronizer.ConditionObject Condition implementation for a `AbstractQueuedLongSynchronizer` serving as the basis of a `Lock` implementation.
AbstractQueuedSynchronizer.ConditionObject Condition implementation for a `AbstractQueuedSynchronizer` serving as the basis of a `Lock` implementation.
Condition `Condition` factors out the `Object` monitor methods (`wait`, `notify` and `notifyAll`) into distinct objects to give the effect of having multiple wait-sets per object, by combining them with the use of arbitrary `Lock` implementations.
Lock `Lock` implementations provide more extensive locking operations than can be obtained using `synchronized` methods and statements.
ReadWriteLock A `ReadWriteLock` maintains a pair of associated `locks`, one for read-only operations and one for writing.
ReentrantReadWriteLock An implementation of `ReadWriteLock` supporting similar semantics to `ReentrantLock`.
ReentrantReadWriteLock.ReadLock The lock returned by method `ReentrantReadWriteLock.readLock()`.
ReentrantReadWriteLock.WriteLock The lock returned by method `ReentrantReadWriteLock.writeLock()`.
