join()是Thread類的一個方法。根據jdk文檔的定義:html
public final void join()throws InterruptedException: Waits for this thread to die.java
join()方法的做用,是等待這個線程結束;但顯然,這樣的定義並不清晰。我的認爲"Java 7 Concurrency Cookbook"的定義較爲清晰:api
join() method suspends the execution of the calling thread until the object called finishes its execution.oracle
也就是說,t.join()方法阻塞調用此方法的線程(calling thread),直到線程t完成,此線程再繼續;一般用於在main()主線程內,等待其它線程完成再結束main()主線程。例如:this
1 public class JoinTester01 implements Runnable { 2 3 private String name; 4 5 public JoinTester01(String name) { 6 this.name = name; 7 } 8 9 public void run() { 10 System.out.printf("%s begins: %s\n", name, new Date()); 11 try { 12 TimeUnit.SECONDS.sleep(4); 13 } catch (InterruptedException e) { 14 e.printStackTrace(); 15 } 16 System.out.printf("%s has finished: %s\n", name, new Date()); 17 } 18 19 public static void main(String[] args) { 20 Thread thread1 = new Thread(new JoinTester01("One")); 21 Thread thread2 = new Thread(new JoinTester01("Two")); 22 thread1.start(); 23 thread2.start(); 24 25 try { 26 thread1.join(); 27 thread2.join(); 28 } catch (InterruptedException e) { 29 // TODO Auto-generated catch block 30 e.printStackTrace(); 31 } 32 33 System.out.println("Main thread is finished"); 34 } 35 36 }
上述代碼若是沒有join()方法,輸出以下:spa
Main thread is finished
One begins: Wed Aug 28 10:21:36 CST 2013
Two begins: Wed Aug 28 10:21:36 CST 2013
Two has finished: Wed Aug 28 10:21:40 CST 2013
One has finished: Wed Aug 28 10:21:40 CST 2013線程
能夠看出主線程main比其它兩個線程先結束。code
最後來深刻了解一下join(),請看其源碼:htm
1 /** 2 * Waits at most <code>millis</code> milliseconds for this thread to 3 * die. A timeout of <code>0</code> means to wait forever. 4 */ 5 //此處A timeout of 0 means to wait forever 字面意思是永遠等待,實際上是等到t結束後。 6 public final synchronized void join(long millis) throws InterruptedException { 7 long base = System.currentTimeMillis(); 8 long now = 0; 9 10 if (millis < 0) { 11 throw new IllegalArgumentException("timeout value is negative"); 12 } 13 14 if (millis == 0) { 15 while (isAlive()) { 16 wait(0); 17 } 18 } else { 19 while (isAlive()) { 20 long delay = millis - now; 21 if (delay <= 0) { 22 break; 23 } 24 wait(delay); 25 now = System.currentTimeMillis() - base; 26 } 27 } 28 }
能夠看出,Join方法實現是經過wait(小提示:Object 提供的方法)。 當main線程調用t.join時候,main線程會得到線程對象t的鎖(wait 意味着拿到該對象的鎖),調用該對象的wait(等待時間),直到該對象喚醒main線程 ,好比退出後。這就意味着main 線程調用t.join時,必須可以拿到線程t對象的鎖。對象
1 public class JoinTester02 implements Runnable { 2 3 Thread thread; 4 5 public JoinTester02(Thread thread) { 6 this.thread = thread; 7 } 8 9 public void run() { 10 synchronized (thread) { 11 System.out.println("getObjectLock"); 12 try { 13 Thread.sleep(9000); 14 } catch (InterruptedException ex) { 15 ex.printStackTrace(); 16 } 17 System.out.println("ReleaseObjectLock"); 18 } 19 } 20 21 public static void main(String[] args) { 22 Thread thread = new Thread(new JoinTester01("Three")); 23 Thread getLockThread = new Thread(new JoinTester02(thread)); 24 25 getLockThread.start(); 26 thread.start(); 27 28 try { 29 thread.join(); 30 } catch (InterruptedException e) { 31 // TODO Auto-generated catch block 32 e.printStackTrace(); 33 } 34 System.out.println("Main finished!"); 35 } 36 37 }public class JoinTester02 implements Runnable { 38 39 Thread thread; 40 41 public JoinTester02(Thread thread) { 42 this.thread = thread; 43 } 44 45 public void run() { 46 synchronized (thread) { 47 System.out.println("getObjectLock"); 48 try { 49 Thread.sleep(9000); 50 } catch (InterruptedException ex) { 51 ex.printStackTrace(); 52 } 53 System.out.println("ReleaseObjectLock"); 54 } 55 } 56 57 public static void main(String[] args) { 58 Thread thread = new Thread(new JoinTester01("Three")); 59 Thread getLockThread = new Thread(new JoinTester02(thread)); 60 61 getLockThread.start(); 62 thread.start(); 63 64 try { 65 thread.join(); 66 } catch (InterruptedException e) { 67 // TODO Auto-generated catch block 68 e.printStackTrace(); 69 } 70 System.out.println("Main finished!"); 71 } 72 73 }
輸出以下:
getObjectLock
Three begins: Wed Aug 28 10:42:00 CST 2013
Three has finished: Wed Aug 28 10:42:04 CST 2013
ReleaseObjectLock
Main finished!
getLockThread經過 synchronized (thread) ,獲取線程對象t的鎖,並Sleep(9000)後釋放,這就意味着,即便main方法t.join(1000)等待一秒鐘,它必須等待ThreadTest 線程釋放t鎖後才能進入wait方法中。
