TheadLocal包含了一組get(),set(Object)方法,可以獲得當前線程的放進去的對象。
ThreadLocal 不是用來解決共享對象的多線程訪問問題的,一般情況下,通過ThreadLocal.set() 到線程中的對象是該線程自己使用的對象,其他線程是不需要訪問的,也訪問不到的。各個線程中訪問的是不同的對象。
以hibernate中典型的ThreadLocal的應用:
ThreadLocal 不是用來解決共享對象的多線程訪問問題的,一般情況下,通過ThreadLocal.set() 到線程中的對象是該線程自己使用的對象,其他線程是不需要訪問的,也訪問不到的。各個線程中訪問的是不同的對象。
另外,說ThreadLocal使得各線程能夠保持各自獨立的一個對象,這個對象的創建并不是通過ThreadLocal.set()來實現的,set()并不會做什么對象的拷貝,而是每個線程之前已經創建好的對象。通 過ThreadLocal.set()將這個新創建的對象的引用以當前線程為key,保存TheadLocal的一個map中,執行 ThreadLocal.get()時,各線程從map中取出以當前線程為key的對象,因此取出來的是各自自己線程中的對象。
下面來看看ThreadLocal的實現原理(jdk1.5源碼)
