前面已经介绍过future模式和jdk5中的future,在jdk5中对future有个基本实现,这个实现就是类futuretask。
对于future模式,每个人都有自己的理解。这里引用他人的话,做个理解:
“Future 模式就是在主线程中当需要进行比较耗时的作业,但不想阻塞主线程的作业时,将耗时作业交由 Future 对象在后台中完成,当主线程将来(这个 Future 的意义也就体现在这里了)需要时即可通过 Future 对象获得已经作业对象。”
下面举个例子,来加深理解,:)其实,看代码容易理解。
import java.util.Random; import java.util.concurrent.Callable; import java.util.concurrent.ExecutionException; import java.util.concurrent.FutureTask; public class testFutureTask { public static void main(String[] args) { // Init callable object and future task Callable pAccount = new PrivateAccount(); FutureTask futureTask = new FutureTask(pAccount); // Create a new thread to do so Thread pAccountThread = new Thread(futureTask); //this will call the method call of PrivateAccount pAccountThread.start(); // Do something else in the main thread System.out.println(" Doing something else here. "); // Get the total money from other accounts int totalMoney = new Random().nextInt(100000); System.out.println(" You have " + totalMoney + " in your other Accounts. "); System.out.println(" Waiting for data from Private Account "); // If the Future task is not finished, we will wait for it while (!futureTask.isDone()) { try { Thread.sleep(5); } catch (InterruptedException e) { e.printStackTrace(); } } Integer privataAccountMoney = null; // Since the future task is done, get the object back try { privataAccountMoney = (Integer) futureTask.get(); } catch (InterruptedException e) { e.printStackTrace(); } catch (ExecutionException e) { e.printStackTrace(); } System.out.println(" The total moeny you have is " + (totalMoney + privataAccountMoney.intValue())); } }
import java.util.Random; import java.util.concurrent.Callable; public class PrivateAccount implements Callable { Integer totalMoney; public Integer call() throws Exception { // Simulates a time conusimg task, sleep for 10s Thread.sleep(10000); totalMoney = new Integer(new Random().nextInt(10000)); System.out.println(" You have " + totalMoney + " in your private Account. "); return totalMoney; } }
从上面的代码可以看出有了futuretask,利用future模式完成任务还是很方便的。
