Is Java Vector synchronized?

Vector
Java

Hi all,

I am writing a program in which I have a Java vector object. My program is supposed to be multi threaded and the vector object can be modified by any of the running thread. I am not sure whether the vector is synchronized or I have to write a code in such a way that it gets synchronized. Any thoughts?

Vectors are synchornized ...Any method that touches Vector's contents are Thread Safe.. but you have to pay price of Performance being hit if Vector is used . Use ArrayList if Synchronization is not required

Yes Vector is Synchronized......vector does not support multi Threading

If the methods are Thread Safe .... it does support MultiThreading ... Could you please tell me what did you mean by "vector does not support multi Threading".... may be my interpretation is wrong
