The scenario is this:

I am writting a JBuilder Java programme which creates an additional thread
to deal with cryptography and various other issues (crypto thread).

When the programme kicks off, the main thread is started as usual and
proceeds until it hits a Wait()
at which point the crypto thread takes over. Having completed the
cryptographic methods, a Notify() is performed on the main thread which duly
reaquires control (since both threads are the same priority, I assume).

I assume the crypto thread is still available, but is simply not live. Now,
I can continue Wait()ing and Notify()ing on the main thread in order to do
processing in the crypto thread ad infinitum. The question is: what is the
best way of doing this? It seems to be 'loose' programming to leave a thread
hanging in this way while the main thread is processing!

I have looked at Wait()s and Notify()s on the crypto thread itself, but I
keep coming accross the situation whereby, if I do a Notify() on the main
thread before the declaration of the Wait() on the crypto thread, the latter
will never occur.

Also, if it was essential to do a Wait() and Notify() on the crypto thread,
how could this be best achieved?


Previso:
No thread priority altering please

I hope I given enough information for you to get stuck in!

Thanks in advance for you help. (Some examples would be much appreciated.)
