同步版本的异步方法

在Java中创建异步方法的同步版本的最佳方法是什么?

假设您有一个使用这两种方法的课程:

asyncDoSomething(); // Starts an asynchronous task
onFinishDoSomething(); // Called when the task is finished 

如何实现在任务完成之前不会返回的同步doSomething()

看看CountDownLatch。您可以使用以下内容模拟所需的同步行为:

private CountDownLatch doneSignal = new CountDownLatch(1);

void main() throws InterruptedException{
  asyncDoSomething();
  //wait until doneSignal.countDown() is called
  doneSignal.await();
}

void onFinishDoSomething(){
  //do something ...
  //then signal the end of work
  doneSignal.countDown();
}

你也可以使用CyclicBarrier和2个派对来实现相同的行为:

private CyclicBarrier barrier = new CyclicBarrier(2);

void main() throws InterruptedException{
  asyncDoSomething();
  //wait until other party calls barrier.await()
  barrier.await();
}

void onFinishDoSomething() throws InterruptedException{
  //do something ...
  //then signal the end of work
  barrier.await();
}

如果您可以控制asyncDoSomething()的源代码,我建议您重新设计它以返回Future<Void>对象。通过这样做,您可以在需要时轻松切换异步/同步行为,如下所示:

void asynchronousMain(){
  asyncDoSomethig(); //ignore the return result
}

void synchronousMain() throws Exception{
  Future<Void> f = asyncDoSomething();
  //wait synchronously for result
  f.get();
}
