About Java semaphores

Submitted by Anonymous on Tue, 10/28/2008 - 03:40.

Back to:
www.javaworld.com/javaworld/javaqa/1999-11/02-qa-semaphore.html.

In this example I see that Random Walk uses its' own newly created semaphores. I just want to say that there is such a build-in thing as java.util.concurrent.Semaphore and it really works (and really more efficiently that Random Walk one).
Just google for it and you'll find it more useful and more comfortable to use than to write your own semaphore from scratch.
Best regards to Random Walk.
P.S.
Excuse me but I really do not believe that Random Walk guys speak at most respected forums in the world. And if they do, those forums are really not related to concurrent programming.
