Alternative to Java Synchronized?

807569Sep 6 2006 — edited Sep 7 2006

I have made a simple HTTP server that starts a new thread each time a new client connects.

Each client can add, get or remove a text string from an ArrayList on the server.

The concurrency in the program could be solved by synchronizing the ArrayList like:

List items = Collections.synchronizedList(new ArrayList());

But I have heard that Java Synchronized is not very efficient and even has some security holes. What are the alternative to using Java Synchronized, if I would like to make an efficient concurrent system?
