有人能告诉我Java中的守护线程是什么吗?


当前回答

守护进程: d(isk) a(nd) e(xecution) mon(itor) or or from de(vice) mon(itor)

Daemon(计算)的定义:

处理打印假脱机和文件传输等服务请求的后台进程,在不需要时处于休眠状态。

Java中的守护线程是什么?

Daemon threads can shut down any time in between their flow, Non-Daemon i.e. user thread executes completely. Daemon threads are threads that run intermittently in the background as long as other non-daemon threads are running. When all of the non-daemon threads complete, daemon threads terminates automatically. Daemon threads are service providers for user threads running in the same process. The JVM does not care about daemon threads to complete when in Running state, not even finally block also let execute. JVM do give preference to non-daemon threads that is created by us. Daemon threads acts as services in Windows. The JVM stops the daemon threads when all user threads (in contrast to the daemon threads) are terminated. Hence daemon threads can be used to implement, for example, a monitoring functionality as the thread is stopped by the JVM as soon as all user threads have stopped.

再讲一点(参考:Java并发实践)

当创建一个新线程时,它将继承其守护进程状态 的父母。 当所有非守护进程线程完成时,JVM停止,并放弃所有剩余的守护进程线程: 最后,块不执行, 栈不会被解开——JVM只是退出。 由于这个原因,应该谨慎使用守护线程,将它们用于可能执行任何类型的I/O的任务是危险的。

java线程中的用户线程与守护线程

守护进程的线程

这些线程在Java中是低优先级的线程,在后台运行以执行诸如垃圾收集之类的任务。Java中的守护线程也是一个服务提供者线程,它向用户线程提供服务。

用户线程

这些线程是高优先级线程。JVM将等待任何用户线程在终止它之前完成它的任务

“请记住用户和守护线程都包装在操作系统线程上”

最近OpenJdk在Loom项目中提出了虚拟线程(它们也是基于用户的),你可以在这里找到更多关于Java虚拟机线程的纤维和延续。

守护线程就像一个服务提供者,为运行在与守护线程相同进程中的其他线程或对象提供服务。守护线程用于后台支持任务,只有在正常线程执行时才需要守护线程。如果正常线程不运行,其余线程是守护线程,则解释器退出。

例如,HotJava浏览器使用最多4个名为“Image Fetcher”的守护线程从文件系统或网络中为任何需要的线程获取图像。

守护线程通常用于为应用程序/applet执行服务(例如加载“fiddley bits”)。用户线程和守护线程之间的核心区别在于,JVM只会在所有用户线程都终止时关闭程序。当不再有任何用户线程在运行(包括执行主线程)时,守护线程将由JVM终止。

setDaemon(真/假)?此方法用于指定一个线程是守护线程。

公共boolean isDaemon() ?此方法用于确定线程是否是守护线程。

Eg:

public class DaemonThread extends Thread {
    public void run() {
        System.out.println("Entering run method");

        try {
            System.out.println("In run Method: currentThread() is" + Thread.currentThread());

            while (true) {
                try {
                    Thread.sleep(500);
                } catch (InterruptedException x) {}

                System.out.println("In run method: woke up again");
            }
        } finally {
            System.out.println("Leaving run Method");
        }
    }
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        System.out.println("Entering main Method");

        DaemonThread t = new DaemonThread();
        t.setDaemon(true);
        t.start();

        try {
            Thread.sleep(3000);
        } catch (InterruptedException x) {}

        System.out.println("Leaving main method");
    }

}

输出:

C:\java\thread>javac DaemonThread.java

C:\java\thread>java DaemonThread
Entering main Method
Entering run method
In run Method: currentThread() isThread[Thread-0,5,main]
In run method: woke up again
In run method: woke up again
In run method: woke up again
In run method: woke up again
In run method: woke up again
In run method: woke up again
Leaving main method

C:\j2se6\thread>

守护线程是在进程的其他非守护线程仍在运行时在后台运行的线程。因此,当所有非守护进程线程完成时,守护进程线程将终止。非守护进程线程的一个例子是运行Main的线程。 通过在线程启动之前调用setDaemon()方法,将线程设置为守护进程
