I have two threads for server and the rest of everything else. I need to wait in the main thread until something happens in the server thread so how do I use wait in the main thread and notifyAll in the server thread?

// variables/fields visible to main thread and server thread:
volatile boolean shouldContinue;
Object sharedObject = new Object();
...
// In main thread (waiting):
synchronized (sharedObject) {
while (!shouldContinue)
sharedObject.wait();
}
...
// In server thread (notifying):
synchronized (sharedObject) {
shouldContinue = true;
sharedObject.notifyAll();
}
