Collections.synchronizedList and synchronized

by

You don’t need to synchronize as you put in your example. HOWEVER, very important, you need to synchronize around the list when you iterate it (as noted in the Javadoc):

It is imperative that the user manually synchronize on the returned
list when iterating over it:

List list = Collections.synchronizedList(new ArrayList());
...
synchronized(list) {
    Iterator i = list.iterator(); // Must be in synchronized block
    while (i.hasNext())
        foo(i.next());   
}
