HI,

     A java question:  Consider a static File object that many different
threaded objects have access to.  Now if I set up a FileWriter on this
file in one of the objects, does it necessarily prevent any other thread
in another object from obtaining a FileWriter on this same file until
the first thread releases it's FileWriter?  I tested this with a few
cases and it appears to be true, but I cannot find any documentation
stating this is how it works.

Any help is appreciated.
Mike Andres
