    <p>The following code is taken from the <a href="http://docs.oracle.com/javase/1.5.0/docs/api/java/util/concurrent/locks/Condition.html" rel="noreferrer">JavaDoc of <code>Condition</code></a>:</p> <pre><code>class BoundedBuffer { final Lock lock = new ReentrantLock(); final Condition notFull = lock.newCondition(); final Condition notEmpty = lock.newCondition(); final Object[] items = new Object[100]; int putptr, takeptr, count; public void put(Object x) throws InterruptedException { lock.lock(); try { while (count == items.length) notFull.await(); items[putptr] = x; if (++putptr == items.length) putptr = 0; ++count; notEmpty.signal(); } finally { lock.unlock(); } } public Object take() throws InterruptedException { lock.lock(); try { while (count == 0) notEmpty.await(); Object x = items[takeptr]; if (++takeptr == items.length) takeptr = 0; --count; notFull.signal(); return x; } finally { lock.unlock(); } } } </code></pre> <p>Imagine 2 threads, <em>Consumer</em> and <em>Producer</em>, one using <code>take</code>, one <code>put</code> on a single instance of <code>BoundedBuffer</code>. </p> <p>Let's say <em>Consumer</em> goes first, runs <code>take()</code> in which he locks the <code>lock</code> and now loops on <code>notEmpty.await();</code>. </p> <p>How can now <em>Producer</em> possibly get into the <code>put()</code> method past locking the <code>lock</code>, which is already held by the <em>Consumer</em>?</p> <p>What am I missing here? Is the <code>lock</code> "temporarily released" while the thread is waiting on one of its conditions? And what does the <em>reentrancy</em> of the lock mean, exactly?</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
