Is there a Mutex object in java or a way to create one?
I am asking because a Semaphore object initialized with 1 permit does not help me.
Think of this case:
try {
semaphore.acquire();
//do stuff
semaphore.release();
} catch (Exception e) {
semaphore.release();
}
if an exception happens at the first acquire, the release in the catch block will increase the permits, and the semaphore is no longer a binary semaphore.
Will the correct way be?
try {
semaphore.acquire();
//do stuff
} catch (Exception e) {
//exception stuff
} finally {
semaphore.release();
}
Will the above code ensure that the semaphore will be binary?

It has a slightly different pattern which is (I think) what you are looking for:
try {
mutex.acquire();
try {
// do something
} finally {
mutex.release();
}
} catch(InterruptedException ie) {
// ...
}
In this usage, you're only calling release() after a successful acquire()
