Java中的线程：如何锁定对象？

以下函数在其自己的线程中执行：

private void doSendData()
{
    try {

           //writeToFile(); // just a temporary location of a call
           InetAddress serverAddr = InetAddress.getByName(serverAddress);
           serverAddr.wait(60000);
           //Log.d("TCP", "C: Connecting...");
           Socket socket = new Socket(serverAddr, portNumber);
           socket.setSoTimeout(3000);

               try {
                //Log.d("TCP", "C: Sending: '" + message + "'");
                PrintWriter out = new PrintWriter( new BufferedWriter( new OutputStreamWriter(socket.getOutputStream())),true);
                String message = packData();
                out.println(message);
                Log.d("TCP", "C: Sent.");
                Log.d("TCP", "C: Done.");
                connectionAvailable = true;

             } catch(Exception e) {
                 Log.e("TCP", "S: Error", e);
                 connectionAvailable = false;

               } finally {
                  socket.close();
                  announceNetworkAvailability(connectionAvailable);
                }

         } catch (Exception e) {
              Log.e("TCP", "C: Error", e);
              announceNetworkAvailability(connectionAvailable);
         }
}

当执行到达该行时，它会引发异常：serverAddr.wait(60000)

java.lang.IllegalMonitorStateException: object not locked by thread before wait()

有谁知道如何锁定对象或函数以防止并发？我尝试添加一个 Lock 对象：

private final Lock lock = new ReentrantLock();

和行

boolean locked = lock.tryLock();

在功能开始时，但它不起作用。
