How to create read write lock in java

[AlienKing]

Hello,

Is it possible to create the read/write lock in Java, and if possible please let me know the procedure for doing so, and to assign the lock should we need to write the get set method with it, also describe with the suitable example.

Thanks in Adavance

A ReadWriteLock maintains a pair of both the read and write lock which we could recommend as an associated locks, one for read-only operations and one for writing. The read lock may be held simultaneously by multiple reader threads that is this lock is used only on those thread which has implemented under the read lock, so long as there are no writers. The write lock is exclusive.

A read-write lock allows for a greater level of concurrency in accessing shared data than that permitted by a mutual exclusion lock.

here I will provide outline for how to create read write lock ,please check below.

public void getReadLock()
	{
		synchronized(mutex)
		{
                      //Initialize

                      ...
                       ....
                         ....
                 }
         }
public void getWriteLock()
	{
		synchronized(mutex)
		{
                      //Initialize

                      ...
                       ....
                         ....
                 }
         }

Like this you need to set your lock on your created nodes..

Read-write lock in Java allows multiple threads to acquire a read lock provided no other thread simultaneously has a write lock on the same object. A thread may acquire a write lock if no other thread owns either a read lock or a write lock.

The logic for writing or implementing lock will be as follows:

readLock

Lock readLock()

    Returns the lock used for reading.

    Returns:
        the lock used for reading.

writeLock

Lock writeLock()

    Returns the lock used for writing.

    Returns:
        the lock used for writing.

Hope you will get some idea, how to set the lock.
