thread problem @@

[newbieKing]

Hello,
I'm trying to execute a bunch of threads in the inner loop but only one batch of inner threads at a time. How do I stop the outer loop until the inner loop threads finish running?

Thanks in advance!

Outline:

outer
{
not concurrent
inner{
executes
concurrent threads
}


}

I think you should ellaborate it a little bit more. I personally don't understand what are you talking about.

Anyway, I think I can give you tow staring points.

synchronized ditective in Java :

http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/essential/threads/monitors.html

And join() method in Thread class: java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/lang/Thread.html

Cheers,

Dian

outer
{
myThread.start();
inner{
myThread.run();
}


}

The start() method kicks a thread off, and then returns immediately (in effect detaches thread from the current line of execution).

The run() method kicks of the thread and then does a join() which means the current path of execution is joined with the threads line aswell.
