A lock can be acquired on a class, you would want to do that if you are using static methods in your class, in which case there would be only one copy, so you would need a lock on the class rather than the instance.
Eg:

public static int getPageHits{ // Not synchronized
return hits;
}


so, now instead of using

public static int getPageHits{
synchronized(this){
return hits;
}
}


you would rather do


public static int getPageHits{

synchronized(ClassName.class){
return hits;
}

}

where ClassName is the name of the class whose lock u are trying to acquire.


you could also use Class.forName("ClassName")
