Title Body

I have a Java class that starts up 2 separate threads. The first thread starts up fine and all the variables are correct. When I start the second thread the global variables from thread one changes to the values set in thread 2. I have tried adding synchronized blocks where the global variables are updated, but this did not work. Is there a way to solve this issue? I want each thread to start up and use its own values without interference in other thread values. EDIT: Snippet of my Thread class: public abstract class ConsumerIF implements Runnable { public static Element root = null; public static String name = null; public static String type = null; public static String location = null; public final synchronized void reconfigure() throws FatalDistributionException { Document doc = builder.build(new StringReader(xmlCollector)); root = doc.getRootElement(); Element nameElement = root.getChild("name"); Element typeElement = root.getChild("type"); Element locationElement = root.getChild("location"); Element scheduleElement = root.getChild("schedule"); if (nameElement != null && typeElement != null && locationElement != null){ name = nameElement.getTextTrim(); type = typeElement.getTextTrim(); location = locationElement.getTextTrim(); } } }
