I am just a beginner in Java and have stumbled upon multi-threaded applications. I know this question is similar to some posts here but I couldn't find a better answer for my query. Basically, I want to pass an object to a static method and the method will just return an output based on the values/properties of the object. For every call, I am creating a new instance of the object and there is no chance in any way that I will modify the object inside the method. Now, my question is, will JVM create a new instance of the static method and its local variables into the Stack (excluding the object as it will be on the Heap) for every call by multiple threads? For a clear view of what I want to achieve, here is my code:

TestConcurrent.java

import classes.Player;

public class TestConcurrent
{
    private static int method(Player player)
    {
        int y = (player.getPoints() * 10) + 1;

            try {
                    Thread.sleep(1000);
            } catch (InterruptedException e) {}

            return ++y;
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception
    {
        // Create 100 threads
        for(int i=1;i&lt;=100;i++)
        {
            final int j = i;
            // Create a new Thread
            new Thread()
            {
                public void run()
                {
                    // Create a new instance of the Player class
                    Player player = new Player(j,j,"FirstName" + j, "LastName" + j);
                    // Call static method() and pass a new instance of Player class
                    System.out.println("Thread " + j + ": " + TestConcurrent.method(player));
                    // Check the values of the Player class after the call to the static method()
                    System.out.println("Player" + player.getAcctId() + " : Points=" + player.getPoints() + " Name=" + player.getFirstName() + " " + player.getLastName());
                }
            }.start();
        }
    }

}


Player.java

package classes;

public class Player
{
    private int acctId, points;
    String firstName, lastName;

    public Player(int acctId, int points, String firstName, String lastName)
    {
        this.acctId = acctId;
        this.points = points;
        this.firstName = firstName;
        this.lastName = lastName;
    }

    public int getAcctId() {
        return acctId;
    }
    public void setAcctId(int acctId) {
        this.acctId = acctId;
    }
    public int getPoints() {
        return points;
    }
    public void setPoints(int points) {
        this.points = points;
    }
    public String getFirstName() {
        return firstName;
    }
    public void setFirstName(String firstName) {
        this.firstName = firstName;
    }
    public String getLastName() {
        return lastName;
    }
    public void setLastName(String lastName) {
        this.lastName = lastName;
    }
}


OUTPUT:

Since I didn't put a synchronized keyword, the output will be different every time and it looks similar to the following: (output is correct and it is exactly what I am expecting, I just want to clarify that I am on the right path since I don't want to use synchronization as it will slow down the process because each thread will have to wait for the other thread to finish before it can call the static method)

Question: Monitor activity to an IP Address - Windows 2003 and 2008 Server
Answer: I downloaded and installed Microsoft Network Monitor 3.4

On to the web servers.

Then run it and set the Display Filter to the IP address of the email routing server:


  IPv4.Address == XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX
