From the Java API documentation: ____ ``++Condition++`` factors out the ``++Object++`` monitor methods (``++wait++``, ``++notify++`` and ``++notifyAll++``) into distinct objects to give the effect of having multiple wait-sets per object, by combining them with the use of arbitrary Lock implementations. Where a ``++Lock++`` replaces the use of ``++synchronized++`` methods and statements, a ``++Condition++`` replaces the use of the ``++Object++`` monitor methods. ____ The purpose of implementing the ``++Condition++`` interface is to gain access to its more nuanced ``++await++`` methods. Therefore, calling the method ``++Object.wait(...)++`` on a class implementing the ``++Condition++`` interface is silly and confusing. == Noncompliant Code Example ---- final Lock lock = new ReentrantLock(); final Condition notFull = lock.newCondition(); ... notFull.wait(); ---- == Compliant Solution ---- final Lock lock = new ReentrantLock(); final Condition notFull = lock.newCondition(); ... notFull.await(); ----
