Deadlock in Java
Deadlock is a situation that can occur when two or more threads are blocked indefinitely trying to obtain access to a resource locked by the other threads in the deadlock. Thus, the deadlocked threads are blocked, waiting for each other to release a resource which neither of them can release because they are blocked waiting for the other thread to release its resource first.
Such resources can be Java Locks, Java synchronized blocks (Java monitor objects), files, database tables and / or records etc.
