根据需要创建新线程的对象。使用线程工厂就无需再手工编写对 new Thread 的调用了,从而允许应用程序使用特殊的线程子类、属性等等。
JDK中的介绍:
An object that creates new threads on demand. Using thread factories removes hardwiring of calls tonew Thread
, enabling applications to use special thread subclasses, priorities, etc.
The simplest implementation of this interface is just:
class SimpleThreadFactory implements ThreadFactory {
public Thread newThread(Runnable r) {
return new Thread(r);
}
}
The Executors.defaultThreadFactory
method provides a more useful simple implementation, that sets the created thread context to known values before returning it.
/**
* The default thread factory
*/
static class DefaultThreadFactory implements ThreadFactory {
static final AtomicInteger poolNumber = new AtomicInteger(1);
final ThreadGroup group;
final AtomicInteger threadNumber = new AtomicInteger(1);
final String namePrefix; DefaultThreadFactory() {
SecurityManager s = System.getSecurityManager();
group = (s != null)? s.getThreadGroup() :
Thread.currentThread().getThreadGroup();
namePrefix = "pool-" +
poolNumber.getAndIncrement() +
"-thread-";
} public Thread newThread(Runnable r) {
Thread t = new Thread(group, r,
namePrefix + threadNumber.getAndIncrement(),
0);
if (t.isDaemon())
t.setDaemon(false);
if (t.getPriority() != Thread.NORM_PRIORITY)
t.setPriority(Thread.NORM_PRIORITY);
return t;
}
}
下面写一简单示例。
package com.test; import java.util.concurrent.ExecutorService;
import java.util.concurrent.Executors;
import java.util.concurrent.ThreadFactory; class Task implements Runnable{
int taskId;
public Task(int taskId) {
this.taskId=taskId;
} @Override
public void run() {
System.out.println(Thread.currentThread().getName()+"--taskId: "+taskId); }
} class DaemonThreadFactory implements ThreadFactory {
@Override
public Thread newThread(Runnable r) {
Thread t=new Thread(r);
t.setDaemon(true);
return t;
} }
public class ThreadFactoryTest {
public static void main(String[] args) {
ExecutorService exec=Executors.newFixedThreadPool(3,new DaemonThreadFactory());
for(int i=0;i<3;i++) {
exec.submit(new Task(i));
}
exec.shutdown();
}
}
输出如下:
Thread-0--taskId: 0
Thread-1--taskId: 1
Thread-2--taskId: 2
Thread-1--taskId: 1
Thread-2--taskId: 2
分析:
DaemonThreadFactory中覆写的newThread()方法与submit()方法的调用关系,也就是说DaemonThreadFactory是如何起作用的。
调试输出其调用关系:
也就是说,submit()时会调用DaemonThreadFactory类的newThread()方法来创建线程。
