线程封闭(Thread Confinement):仅在单线程内访问数据,不需要同步。
常见应用是:JDBC(Java Database Connectivity)的Connection对象。
指维护线程封闭性的职责完全由程序实现来承担。Ad-hoc线程封闭是非常脆弱的,因为没有任何一种语言特性,例如可见性修饰符或局部变量,能将对象封闭到目标线程上。
当决定使用线程封闭技术时,通常是因为要将某个特定的子系统实现为一个单线程子系统。
在栈封闭中,只能通过局部变量才能访问对象。
栈封闭(也被称为线程内部使用或者线程局部使用)比Ad-hoc线程封闭更易于维护,也更加健壮。
Java语言确保了基本类型的局部变量始终封闭在线程内。下面代码是表示:基本类型的局部变量与引用变量的线程封闭性。
public int loadTheArk(Collection candidates) {
SortedSet animals;
int numPairs = 0;
Animal candidate = null;
//animals被封装在方法中,不要使它们溢出
animals = new TreeSet(new SpeciesGenderComparator());
animals.addAll(candidates);
for(Animal a:animals){
if(candidate==null || !candidate.isPotentialMate(a)){
candidate = a;
}else{
ark.load(new AnimalPair(candidate,a));
++numPairs;
candidate = null;
}
}
return numPairs;
}
在loadTheArk中实例化一个TreeSet对象,并将该对象的一个引用保存到animals中。此时,只有一个引用指向集合animals,这个引用被封闭到局部变量中,因此也被封闭到局部变量中。然而,如果发布了对集合animals(或者该对象中的任何内部数据)的引用,那么封闭性将被破坏,并导致对象animals的逸出。
这个类能使线程中的某个值与保存值的对象关联起来。ThreadLocal提供了get与set等访问接口或方法,这些方法为每个使用该变量的线程都存有一份独立的副本,因此get总是返回由当前执行线程在调用set时设置的最新值。
ThreadLocal对象通常用于防止对可变的单实例变量(Singleton)或全局变量进行共享。
通过将JDBC的连接保存到ThreadLocal对象中,每个线程都会拥有属于自己的连接。
private static ThreadLocal connectionHolder = new ThreadLocal<Connection>(){
public Connection initialValue(){
return DriverManager.getConneciton(DB_URL);
}
}
public static Connection getConnection(){
return connectionHolder.get();
}
ThreadLocal变量类似于全局变量,它能降低代码的可重用性,并在类之间引入隐含的耦合性,因此在使用时要格外小心。
