Suppose you have thread and it is in synchronized method and now can thread enter other static synchronized method from that method in java?


Yes, here when thread is in synchronized method it must be holding lock on object’s monitor and when it enters static synchronized method it will hold lock on class’s class object as well.
So, now thread holds 2 locks (it’s also called nested synchronization)-
>first one on object’s monitor.
>second one on class’s class object.(This lock will be released when thread exits static method).


Program >
class MyRunnable1 implements Runnable{
   @Override
   public void run(){
          method1();
   }
  
   synchronized void method1(){
          System.out.println("synchronized void method1() started");
          method2();
          System.out.println("synchronized void method1() ended");
   }
  
   static synchronized void method2(){
          System.out.println("in static synchronized method2()");
   }
  
  
}
/** Copyright (c), AnkitMittal JavaMadeSoEasy.com */
public class MyClass {
   public static void main(String args[]) throws InterruptedException{
         
          MyRunnable1 myRunnable1=new MyRunnable1();
          Thread thread1=new Thread(myRunnable1,"Thread-1");
          thread1.start();       
         
         
   }
}
/*OUTPUT
synchronized void method1() started
in static synchronized method2()
synchronized void method1() ended
*/
If you note output, when thread was in synchronized method1() it was holding lock on object’s monitor and when it entered static synchronized method2() it acquired lock on class’s class object as well.
