I can't figure out why the code doesn't work properly. The problem is that ReentrantLock doesn't lock methods invocation in ThreadClass.run()
Resource-class which methods are assumed to be locked in ThreadClass
public class ResourceClass {
private int i;
public void setIncrement() {
i++;
}
public int getIncrement() {
return i;
}
}
Thread-class
public class ThreadClass implements Runnable {
private ResourceClass resource;
private ReentrantLock reentrantLock = new ReentrantLock();
ThreadClass(ResourceClass r) {
resource = r;
}
public void run() {
reentrantLock.lock();
try {
resource.setIncrement();
System.out.println(resource.getIncrement());
} finally {
reentrantLock.unlock();
}
}
}
Main-class
public class MainClass {
public static void main(String[] args) {
ResourceClass resource = new ResourceClass();
Thread thread = new Thread(new ThreadClass(resource));
thread.start();
Thread thread2 = new Thread(new ThreadClass(resource));
thread2.start();
Thread thread3 = new Thread(new ThreadClass(resource));
thread3.start();
}
}
It is supposed that the code surrounded by lock in run() must be "synchronised" thus results that only one thread has access to the methods of Resourse-object. At practice it doesn't. The code results repeated numbers which means that two threads have access to the methods at the same time. I know that it is really simple issue but I can't understand how to solve it. Thanks for assistance.
Update:
I got that. That piece of code works just fine (I deleted setIncrement() and put all the relevant logic into getIncrement()):
public int getIncrement() {
reentrantLock.lock();
int incrementResult = i++;
reentrantLock.unlock();
return incrementResult;
}
