Re: event handling synchronization

Andreas,

I don't understand. Are you saying that a synchronized event handler is not 
serializing the handling of the events?

The model is that events are given to a component using the public 
synchronized method "event", which internally calls handleEvent (which can 
be overridden to provide specific handling) and this has no need to be 
synched as it should only be called from within event (Why it is public I do 
not recall - this is probably an error.)

It baffles me how the handling can be interleaved unless you are using 
threading within the handler and releasing the lock on event before the 
internal threading has completed.
