IllegalMonitorStateException raised with explicit lock/condition

I want to have such kind of work flow using explicit lock/condition variables (It's a course project which mandates this style.): A is the main class, it asks B to do some job from time to time. B has a worker class C which constantly queries B about new jobs to do and do it. After C finishes, it will call A's callback function to notify A the job is done.

However when I try to run the program, I get an IllegalMonitorStateException, when the callback() is trying to notify the doit() function.

exception in thread "Thread-0" java.lang.IllegalMonitorStateException
        at java.lang.Object.notifyAll(Native Method)
        at Test$A.callback(Test.java:49)
        at Test$C.run(Test.java:115)

I looked at the javadoc and some Q&A about this exception, but still no idea why I get this.

Use the signal() method on Condition in place of notify().

While you can successfully synchronize on a Condition instance, and then use the traditional wait() and notify() methods, you might as well just use an Object if you aren't using the extended capabilities of the concurrent classes.

Condition was intended to be used with the equivalent methods await() and signal(), and their enhanced variants.
