block and wakeup consumer threads/

[markiz]

I have 2 threads.

each of them reads some data from a shared buffer.

currentDataBuffer.get(thisID); //currentDataBuffer is my shared buffer object

I want to block thread after every call, and release it when all thread read the buffer (once)
so I used this currentDataBuffer object as lock:

currentDataBuffer.get(thisID);
synchronized (currentDataBuffer ) {
   currentDataBuffer.wait();
}

The problem is how can I release those threads?

inside currentDataBuffer I have a map where I store the ids of threads that read data from buffer.

how can I use this.notifyAll(); (from currentDataBuffer ) to wake up all locked threads?

The syntax for notify & notifyAll is the same as for wait.
Get the lock/monitor for the object and call notify. Only one thread will wake up and get the lock. The other waiting threads will have to be notified again and again until there are none left.

Try writing a small simple program to exercise the wait/notify logic to see how they work.
