I am trying to code my application to benefit from running on a parallel machine but it is not any

get the data as an Object []. I am pretty sure that
this will now be non-synchronized but I thought I
would ask to check - is it?

Thanks. Allan



Vector's toArray method is synchronized, and needs to
be synchronized. The toArray method would get very
confused if the Vector were to change while it is
running.



Yes, I meant: Is access to the array after this call
synchronized? I doubt it but thought I would check.


Accesses to the array will be synchronized if, and only if,
they occur in a synchronized context.
