获得未来的结果?

标签: java asynchronous runnable callable futuretask

我希望从一个方法中获得结果,这个方法可能需要一段时间才能完成并且实际上并没有返回对象,所以我希望尽可能有效地处理它。这是我尝试实现的一个例子:

    public static void main (String[] args) {
        Object obj = someMethod();

        System.out.println("The object is" + obj + ", wooh!");
    }

    public void callObject() {
        // Sends request for the object
    }

    public void receiveObject(Object object) {
        // Received the object
    }

    public Object someMethod() {
        callObject();
        // delay whilst the object is being received
        // return received object once received, but how?
    }

方法callObject将调用获取对象,但是在对象中调用另一个方法。我希望someMethod()能够调用该对象,然后返回它最终收到的内容,即使实际呼叫和接收是不同的方法。

我已经研究过使用FutureTasks和Callables,我认为是前进的方向,我不太确定如何实现它。

对不起,如果我没有解释得太清楚,我会在必要时提供更多信息。

谢谢!

您可以编写一个方法,以异步方式执行一些长时间运行的任务。然后,您将返回一个未来对象,该对象为空,但在长时间运行的任务完成时会被填充。在其他编程语言中,这称为承诺。

这是一个简单的例子。我创建了一个名为someLongAsyncOperation的方法,它执行需要一段时间的事情。为了模拟这个,我只是在产生答案之前睡了3秒钟。

import java.util.UUID;
import java.util.concurrent.*;

public class Test {

    private static final ExecutorService executorService = Executors.newSingleThreadExecutor();

    public Future<MyAnswer> someLongAsyncOperation(){

        Future<MyAnswer> future = executorService.submit(() -> {
            Thread.sleep(3000);
            return new MyAnswer(UUID.randomUUID().toString());
        });

        return future;
    }


    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {

        System.out.println("calling someLongAsyncOperation ...");
        Future<MyAnswer> future = new Test().someLongAsyncOperation();
        System.out.println("calling someLongAsyncOperation done.");

        // do something else

        System.out.println("wait for answer ...");
        MyAnswer myAnswer = future.get();
        System.out.printf("wait for answer done. Answer is: %s", myAnswer.value);

        executorService.shutdown();
    }

    static class MyAnswer {
        final String value;

        MyAnswer(String value) {
            this.value = value;
        }
    }
  }

如果执行这个小测试类,你会看到someLongAsyncOperation返回的速度很快,但是在调用future.get();时我们等待操作完成。

您现在可以执行类似于启动多个longAsyncOperation的操作,因此它们可以并行运行。然后等到所有这些都完成了。

这是否适合作为您的起点?

修改

您可以像这样实施someMethod

public MyAnswer someMethod() throws ExecutionException, InterruptedException {
        Future<MyAnswer> future = someLongAsyncOperation(); // kick of async operation
        return future.get(); // wait for result
    }

通过调用异步操作并等待结果,将再次使异步操作同步。

这是另一个使用wait / notify的例子:

import java.util.UUID;
import java.util.concurrent.ExecutorService;
import java.util.concurrent.Executors;
import java.util.concurrent.Future;
import java.util.concurrent.locks.Condition;
import java.util.concurrent.locks.Lock;
import java.util.concurrent.locks.ReentrantLock;

public class Test2 {

    private static final ExecutorService executorService = Executors.newSingleThreadExecutor();
    private Object receivedObject;
    private final Object mutex = new Object();

    public static void main (String[] args) throws InterruptedException {
        Object obj = new Test2().someMethod();

        System.out.println("The object is" + obj + ", wooh!");

        executorService.shutdown();
    }

    public void callObject() {

        System.out.println("callObject ...");

        // Sends request for the object asynchronously!
        executorService.submit(() -> {

            // some wait time to simulate slow request
            try {
                Thread.sleep(3000);
            } catch (InterruptedException e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            }

            // provide object to callback
            receiveObject(UUID.randomUUID().toString());
        });

        System.out.println("callObject done.");
    }

    public void receiveObject(Object object) {

        System.out.println("receiveObject ...");

        synchronized (mutex) {
            this.receivedObject = object;
            mutex.notify();
        }

        System.out.println("receiveObject done.");
    }

    public Object someMethod() throws InterruptedException {

        System.out.println("someMethod ...");

        synchronized (mutex) {
            callObject();
            while(this.receivedObject == null){
                mutex.wait();
            }
        }

        System.out.println("someMethod done.");
        return this.receivedObject;
    }

}

someMethod等待receivedObject存在。 receiveObject在抵达时通知。

您需要回调:

private abstract class Callback<T>{
    run(T object);
}


public Object someMethod() {
    callObject(new Callback<Object>()
    {
        @Override
        public void run(Object object)
        {
             System.out.println("The object is" + object + ", wooh!");
        }
    })

}

public void callObject(Callback<Object> callback) {
    // Sends request for the object
    callback.run(object);
}
