Simply you declare your method as synchronized to prevent more than one thread to invoke that mehod at the same time.Good LuckAhmad Elsafty

I wanted to add one more point here,Synchronization is a way to let JVM know that a particular method or block of code is locked and is accessable to only one thread at a given point of time.So if you had a question who takes care of synchronization, the answer is JVM.
