(转)Java线程：新特征-条件变量

Java线程：新特征-条件变量

 

条件变量是Java5线程中很重要的一个概念，顾名思义，条件变量就是表示条件的一种变量。但是必须说明，这里的条件是没有实际含义的，仅仅是个标记而已，并且条件的含义往往通过代码来赋予其含义。

 

这里的条件和普通意义上的条件表达式有着天壤之别。

 

条件变量都实现了java.util.concurrent.locks.Condition接口，条件变量的实例化是通过一个Lock对象上调用newCondition()方法来获取的，这样，条件就和一个锁对象绑定起来了。因此，Java中的条件变量只能和锁配合使用，来控制并发程序访问竞争资源的安全。

 

条件变量的出现是为了更精细控制线程等待与唤醒，在Java5之前，线程的等待与唤醒依靠的是Object对象的wait()和notify()/notifyAll()方法，这样的处理不够精细。

 

而在Java5中，一个锁可以有多个条件，每个条件上可以有多个线程等待，通过调用await()方法，可以让线程在该条件下等待。当调用signalAll()方法，又可以唤醒该条件下的等待的线程。有关Condition接口的API可以具体参考JavaAPI文档。

 

条件变量比较抽象，原因是他不是自然语言中的条件概念，而是程序控制的一种手段。

 

下面以一个银行存取款的模拟程序为例来揭盖Java多线程条件变量的神秘面纱：

 

有一个账户，多个用户（线程）在同时操作这个账户，有的存款有的取款，存款随便存，取款有限制，不能透支，任何试图透支的操作都将等待里面有足够存款才执行操作。

import java.util.concurrent.Executors; 
import java.util.concurrent.locks.Condition; 
import java.util.concurrent.locks.Lock; 
import java.util.concurrent.locks.ReentrantLock;

假如我们不用锁和条件变量，如何实现此功能呢？下面是实现代码：

import java.util.concurrent.ExecutorService; 
import java.util.concurrent.Executors;

/**

                //创建一个线程池 
                ExecutorService pool = Executors.newFixedThreadPool(2); 
                Thread t1 = new SaveThread("张三", myCount, 2000); 
                Thread t2 = new SaveThread("李四", myCount, 3600); 
                Thread t3 = new DrawThread("王五", myCount, 2700);

                Thread t5 = new DrawThread("老牛", myCount, 1300);
