Seen as Java is both multithreaded and Object Oriented I was wondering
if there was any object level concurrency control available or in the
works. For example can one specify a set of methods as "serialised",
meaning that only one of these methods can be executing at a time.
The reason I ask is wrt to object migration. In a multithreaded
environment it might not be a good idea to migrate an object while one
of its methods is executing! Hence one might might be able to make the
its migrate method a member of this group and so avoid the possibility
of migrating as one of its (public) methods is being executed by a
different thread.
Cheers,
Leon.
