API provides a synchornized access! But you can apply your own synchronization methods/blocks while using them in your code!

Hashtable is synchronized not Hashtable Vector is synchronized not ArrayList you do not need to worry about synchronization while using these collection...synchronized means methods in that classs are synchronized

Research is what I'm doing when I dont know what I'm doing

Hello, There are two ways to make a hashmap synchronized. One is to call synchronized Map on Collections class and 2nd is to make your own class. For eg. Class MyMap extends HashMap {

public synchronized void put(...) { super.put(...); } public synchronized void get(...) { super.put(...); } } similarly you can synchronized all the methods. So intead of creating an object of HashMap you will be creating an object og MyMap
