Java中的守护线程是指运行在后台的线程，主要由JVM创建，用于执行后台任务，如垃圾收集和其他家政任务。

注意事项:

Any thread created by main thread, which runs main method in Java is by default non daemon because Thread inherits its daemon nature from the Thread which creates it i.e. parent Thread and since main thread is a non daemon thread, any other thread created from it will remain non-daemon until explicitly made daemon by calling setDaemon(true). Thread.setDaemon(true) makes a Thread daemon but it can only be called before starting Thread in Java. It will throw IllegalThreadStateException if corresponding Thread is already started and running.

Java中守护线程与非守护线程的区别:

1) JVM在存在之前不会等待任何守护线程完成。

2)当JVM终止时，守护线程与用户线程被区别对待，最终块不被调用，堆栈不受伤，JVM只是退出。

守护线程类似于助手线程。非daemon线程就像前面的表演者。助手帮助表演者完成一项工作。工作完成后，执行者不再需要帮助来执行。由于不需要帮助，助手们离开了这个地方。因此，当非守护线程的任务结束时，守护线程就会离开。

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.

正如大家所解释的，守护线程不会限制JVM退出，所以基本上从退出的角度来看，它对应用程序来说是一个快乐的线程。

想要添加守护线程，当我提供一个API，比如将数据推送到第三方服务器/或JMS时，我可能需要在客户端JVM级别聚合数据，然后在一个单独的线程中发送到JMS。我可以使这个线程作为守护线程，如果这不是一个强制数据被推送到服务器。 这类数据类似于日志推送/聚合。

问候, Manish

守护线程是在程序完成但线程仍在运行时不阻止JVM退出的线程。守护进程线程的一个例子是垃圾收集。

您可以使用setDaemon(boolean)方法在线程启动之前更改线程守护进程属性。

在Java中，守护线程是一种不阻止Java虚拟机(JVM)退出的线程类型。 守护线程的主要目的是执行后台任务，特别是一些例行的周期性任务或工作。JVM退出时，守护进程线程也会死亡。

通过设置thread. setdaemon (true)，线程变成守护线程。但是，您只能在线程启动之前设置这个值。
