Quartz和Timer两种定时器的区别

1：Quartz:

Spring配置文件：

pom文件加入2个jar包：

    org.springframework
    spring-context-support
    4.1.0.RELEASE


    org.quartz-scheduler
    quartz
    2.2.1

package com.java.activiti.scheduler;

import org.apache.log4j.Logger;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Component;

@Component
public class schedulers {
	private static final Logger logger = Logger.getLogger(schedulers.class);
	 public void excute() {
		 	logger.debug("开始了哦！");
			System.out.println("定时器正在执行");
		}
}

2：Timer:

package com.java.activiti.timer;

import java.util.Date;
import java.util.Timer;
import java.util.TimerTask;

public class TimerTest {
	
	public static void main(String[] args) {
		Timer timer = new Timer();
		Task task = new Task();
		timer.schedule(task, new Date(), 1000);
	}
}
class Task extends TimerTask{
	public void run(){
		System.out.println("Timer开始执行！");
	}
}

JDK源码分析一下，Timer原理：

Timer源码

public class Timer {
    /**
     * The timer task queue.  This data structure is shared with the timer
     * thread.  The timer produces tasks, via its various schedule calls,
     * and the timer thread consumes, executing timer tasks as appropriate,
     * and removing them from the queue when they're obsolete.
     */
    private final TaskQueue queue = new TaskQueue();

    /**
     * The timer thread.
     */
    private final TimerThread thread = new TimerThread(queue);

这里可以看出，有一个队列（其实是个最小堆），和一个线程对象

我们在看一下Timer的构造函数

/**
     * Creates a new timer.  The associated thread does not
     * {@linkplain Thread#setDaemon run as a daemon}.
     */
    public Timer() {
        this("Timer-" + serialNumber());
    }

这里调用了有参构造函数，进入查看

/**
     * Creates a new timer whose associated thread has the specified name.
     * The associated thread does not
     * {@linkplain Thread#setDaemon run as a daemon}.
     *
     * @param name the name of the associated thread
     * @throws NullPointerException if {@code name} is null
     * @since 1.5
     */
    public Timer(String name) {
        thread.setName(name);
        thread.start();
    }

这里可以看到，起了一个线程

ok，我们再看一下，TimerTask这个类

/**
 * A task that can be scheduled for one-time or repeated execution by a Timer.
 *
 * @author  Josh Bloch
 * @see     Timer
 * @since   1.3
 */

public abstract class TimerTask implements Runnable {

虽然代码不多，也不贴完，这里看出，是一个实现了Runable接口的类，也就是说可以放到线程中运行的任务

这里就清楚了，Timer是一个线程，TimerTask是一个Runable实现类，那只要提交TimerTask对象就可以运行任务了。

public void schedule(TimerTask task, Date firstTime, long period) {
        if (period <= 0)
            throw new IllegalArgumentException("Non-positive period.");
        sched(task, firstTime.getTime(), -period);
    }

进入Timer shed(task, firstTime, period)

private void sched(TimerTask task, long time, long period) {
        if (time < 0)
            throw new IllegalArgumentException("Illegal execution time.");

        // Constrain value of period sufficiently to prevent numeric
        // overflow while still being effectively infinitely large.
        if (Math.abs(period) > (Long.MAX_VALUE >> 1))
            period >>= 1;

        synchronized(queue) {
            if (!thread.newTasksMayBeScheduled)
                throw new IllegalStateException("Timer already cancelled.");

            synchronized(task.lock) {
                if (task.state != TimerTask.VIRGIN)
                    throw new IllegalStateException(
                        "Task already scheduled or cancelled");
                task.nextExecutionTime = time;
                task.period = period;
                task.state = TimerTask.SCHEDULED;
            }

            queue.add(task);
            if (queue.getMin() == task)
                queue.notify();
        }
    }

这里主要是queue.add(task)将任务放到最小堆里面，并queue.notity()唤醒在等待的线程

那么我们进入Timer类的TimerThread对象查看run方法，因为Timer类里面有个TimerThread 对象是一个线程

public void run() {
        try {
            mainLoop();
        } finally {
            // Someone killed this Thread, behave as if Timer cancelled
            synchronized(queue) {
                newTasksMayBeScheduled = false;
                queue.clear();  // Eliminate obsolete references
            }
        }
    }

这里可以看出，在执行一个mainLoop()循环，进入这个循环

/**
     * The main timer loop.  (See class comment.)
     */
    private void mainLoop() {
        while (true) {
            try {
                TimerTask task;
                boolean taskFired;
                synchronized(queue) {
                    // Wait for queue to become non-empty
                    while (queue.isEmpty() && newTasksMayBeScheduled)
                        queue.wait();
                    if (queue.isEmpty())
                        break; // Queue is empty and will forever remain; die

                    // Queue nonempty; look at first evt and do the right thing
                    long currentTime, executionTime;
                    task = queue.getMin();
                    synchronized(task.lock) {
                        if (task.state == TimerTask.CANCELLED) {
                            queue.removeMin();
                            continue;  // No action required, poll queue again
                        }
                        currentTime = System.currentTimeMillis();
                        executionTime = task.nextExecutionTime;
                        if (taskFired = (executionTime<=currentTime)) {
                            if (task.period == 0) { // Non-repeating, remove
                                queue.removeMin();
                                task.state = TimerTask.EXECUTED;
                            } else { // Repeating task, reschedule
                                queue.rescheduleMin(
                                  task.period<0 ? currentTime   - task.period
                                                : executionTime + task.period);
                            }
                        }
                    }
                    if (!taskFired) // Task hasn't yet fired; wait
                        queue.wait(executionTime - currentTime);
                }
                if (taskFired)  // Task fired; run it, holding no locks
                    task.run();
            } catch(InterruptedException e) {
            }
        }

这里忘了说明，TimerTask是按nextExecutionTime进行堆排序的。每次取堆中nextExecutionTime和当前系统时间进行比较，如果当前时间大于nextExecutionTime则执行，如果是单次任务，会将任务从最小堆，移除。否则，更新nextExecutionTime的值

 

至此，Timer定时任务原理基本理解，单线程 + 最小堆 + 不断轮询

3：TimerTask 和 Quartz比较

3.1

   精确度和功能

  Quartz可以通过cron表达式精确到特定时间执行，而TimerTask不能。Quartz拥有TimerTask所有的功能，而     TimerTask则没有。

3.2

   Quartz每次执行任务都创建一个新的任务类对象，而TimerTask则每次使用同一个任务类对象。

3.3

Quartz的某次执行任务过程中抛出异常，不影响下一次任务的执行，当下一次执行时间到来时，定时器会再次执行任务；而TimerTask则不同，一旦某个任务在执行过程中抛出异常，则整个定时器生命周期就结束，以后永远不会再执行定时器任务。
