Condition的功能类似于传统线程技术中的Object.wait和Object.notify的功能。
一个锁内部可以有多个Condition，即有多路等待和通知。
在传统的线程机制中一个监视器对象只能有一路等待和通知，要想实现多路等待和通知，必须嵌套使用多个同步监视器对象。
Example
多路等待示例：
1、模板代码
class BoundedBuffer { final Lock lock = new ReentrantLock(); final Condition notFull = lock.newCondition(); final Condition notEmpty = lock.newCondition(); final Object[] items = new Object[100]; int putptr, takeptr, count; public void put(Object x) throws InterruptedException { lock.lock(); try { while (count == items.length) notFull.await(); items[putptr] = x; if (++putptr == items.length) putptr = 0; ++count; notEmpty.signal(); } finally { lock.unlock(); } } public Object take() throws InterruptedException { lock.lock(); try { while (count == 0) notEmpty.await(); Object x = items[takeptr]; if (++takeptr == items.length) takeptr = 0; --count; notFull.signal(); return x; } finally { lock.unlock(); } } }
2、实例代码
1 public class ConditionCommunication { 2 3 public static void main(String[] args) { 4 5 final Business business = new Business(); 6 new Thread( 7 new Runnable(){ 8 public void run(){ 9 for(int i=1;i<=10;i++){ 10 business.sub(i); 11 } 12 } 13 } 14 ).start(); 15 16 for(int i=1;i<=50;i++){ 17 business.main(i); 18 } 19 } 20 21 static class Business { 22 Lock lock = new ReentrantLock(); 23 Condition condition = lock.newCondition(); 24 private boolean bShouldSub = true; 25 26 public void sub(int i){ 27 lock.lock(); 28 try{ 29 while(!bShouldSub){//while用于防止虚假唤醒 30 try { 31 condition.await(); 32 } catch (Exception e) { 33 // TODO Auto-generated catch block 34 e.printStackTrace(); 35 } 36 } 37 for(int j=1;j<=10;j++){ 38 System.out.println("sub thread sequece of " + j + ",loop of " + i); 39 } 40 bShouldSub = false; 41 condition.signal(); 42 }finally{ 43 lock.unlock(); 44 } 45 } 46 47 public void main(int i){ 48 lock.lock(); 49 try{ 50 while(bShouldSub){ 51 try { 52 condition.await(); 53 } catch (Exception e) { 54 // TODO Auto-generated catch block 55 e.printStackTrace(); 56 } 57 } 58 for(int j=1;j<=100;j++){ 59 System.out.println("main thread sequece of " + j + ",loop of " + i); 60 } 61 bShouldSub = true; 62 condition.signal(); 63 }finally{ 64 lock.unlock(); 65 } 66 } 67 } 68 }
3、3线程交互示例：
本例中包含3个线程，main、sub2和sub3，3个线程交替执行先是main然后是sub2，sub2又交给sub3，sub3再交给main，如此循环往复执行50次。
1 public class ThreeConditionCommunication { 2 3 public static void main(String[] args) { 4 5 final Business business = new Business(); 6 new Thread( 7 new Runnable(){ 8 public void run(){ 9 for(int i=1;i<=50;i++){ 10 business.sub2(i); 11 } 12 } 13 } 14 ).start(); 15 16 new Thread( 17 new Runnable(){ 18 public void run(){ 19 for(int i=1;i<=50;i++){ 20 business.sub3(i); 21 } 22 } 23 } 24 ).start(); 25 26 for(int i=1;i<=50;i++){ 27 business.main(i); 28 } 29 } 30 31 static class Business { 32 Lock lock = new ReentrantLock(); 33 //Condition定义 34 Condition condition1 = lock.newCondition(); 35 Condition condition2 = lock.newCondition(); 36 Condition condition3 = lock.newCondition(); 37 private int ShouldSub = 1; 38 39 public void sub2(int i){ 40 lock.lock(); 41 try{ 42 //while用于防止虚假唤醒，很重要 43 while(ShouldSub != 2){ 44 try { 45 condition2.await(); 46 } catch (Exception e) { 47 // TODO Auto-generated catch block 48 e.printStackTrace(); 49 } 50 } 51 for(int j=1;j<=10;j++){ 52 System.out.println("sub2 thread sequece of " + j + ",loop of " + i); 53 } 54 ShouldSub = 3; 55 condition3.signal(); 56 }finally{ 57 lock.unlock(); 58 } 59 } 60 61 public void sub3(int i){ 62 lock.lock(); 63 try{ 64 while(ShouldSub != 3){ 65 try { 66 condition3.await(); 67 } catch (Exception e) { 68 // TODO Auto-generated catch block 69 e.printStackTrace(); 70 } 71 } 72 for(int j=1;j<=20;j++){ 73 System.out.println("sub3 thread sequece of " + j + ",loop of " + i); 74 } 75 ShouldSub = 1; 76 condition1.signal(); 77 }finally{ 78 lock.unlock(); 79 } 80 } 81 82 public void main(int i){ 83 lock.lock(); 84 try{ 85 while(ShouldSub != 1){ 86 try { 87 condition1.await(); 88 } catch (Exception e) { 89 // TODO Auto-generated catch block 90 e.printStackTrace(); 91 } 92 } 93 for(int j=1;j<=100;j++){ 94 System.out.println("main thread sequece of " + j + ",loop of " + i); 95 } 96 ShouldSub = 2; 97 condition2.signal(); 98 }finally{ 99 lock.unlock(); 100 } 101 } 102 } 103 }
部分运行结果：
