Stored Procedures and Triggers

Hi,
I have a couple questions...

Can triggers work off an UPDATE to a specific field in
a table?

Can you write a stored procedure in Java?

Does Postgres queue up trigger calls so the first
function has to finish before a second can start, or
does Postgres create a second thread for the same
function to run twice?

Are triggers synchronous?

Thanks for any help.
