Is java.util.Hashtable thread safe?

Question

It\'s been a while since I\'ve used hashtable for anything significant, but I seem to recall the get() and put() methods being synchronized.

The JavaDocs don\'t ref

Answer 1

If you look into Hashtable code, you will see that methods are synchronized such as:

public synchronized V get(Object key) 
 public synchronized V put(K key, V value)
 public synchronized boolean containsKey(Object key)

You can keep pressing on control key (command for mac) and then click on any method name in the eclipse to go to the java source code.
