The java.lang.Object.wait() causes current thread to wait until another thread invokes the notify() method or the notifyAll() method for this object. In simple terms during wait() it doesn't own the lock of the object. But whereas it still owns the object's monitor and keep monitoring till its execution is over. It hands over the ownership of the monitor and wait for another thread to notify using a notify method or notifyAll method. This way a method can be called by only the thread that has the ownership of the object's monitor.
