Java provides several layers of protection from dangerously flawed code as well as more mischievous things such as viruses and Trojan horses. In the next section, we’ll take a look at how the Java virtual machine architecture assesses the safety of code before it’s run and how the Java class loader (the bytecode loading mechanism of the Java interpreter) builds a wall around untrusted classes.

Java supports synchronization based on the monitor and condition model—a sort of lock and key 14 | Chapter 1: A Modern Language This is the Title of the Book, eMatter Edition system for accessing resources.
