我见过这样的例子:

public class MaxSeconds {
   public static final int MAX_SECONDS = 25;
}

假设我可以有一个Constants类来包装常量,并将它们声明为静态final。我几乎不知道Java,我想知道这是否是创建常量的最佳方式。

有一定的观点来回答这个问题。首先,java中的常量通常被声明为public、static和final。原因如下:

public, so that they are accessible from everywhere
static, so that they can be accessed without any instance. Since they are constants it
  makes little sense to duplicate them for every object.
final, since they should not be allowed to change

我永远不会为CONSTANTS访问器/对象使用接口,因为接口通常是需要实现的。这看起来是不是很有趣:

String myConstant = IMyInterface.CONSTANTX;

相反,我会在一些不同的方法中进行选择,基于一些小的权衡,所以这取决于你需要什么:

1.  Use a regular enum with a default/private constructor. Most people would define 
     constants this way, IMHO.
  - drawback: cannot effectively Javadoc each constant member
  - advantage: var members are implicitly public, static, and final
  - advantage: type-safe
  - provides "a limited constructor" in a special way that only takes args which match
     predefined 'public static final' keys, thus limiting what you can pass to the
     constructor

2.  Use a altered enum WITHOUT a constructor, having all variables defined with 
     prefixed 'public static final' .
  - looks funny just having a floating semi-colon in the code
  - advantage: you can JavaDoc each variable with an explanation
  - drawback: you still have to put explicit 'public static final' before each variable
  - drawback: not type-safe
  - no 'limited constructor'

3.  Use a Class with a private constructor:
  - advantage: you can JavaDoc each variable with an explanation
  - drawback: you have to put explicit 'public static final' before each variable
  - you have the option of having a constructor to create an instance
     of the class if you want to provide additional functions related
     to your constants 
     (or just keep the constructor private)
  - drawback: not type-safe

4. Using interface:
  - advantage: you can JavaDoc each variable with an explanation
  - advantage: var members are implicitly 'public static final'
  - you are able to define default interface methods if you want to provide additional
     functions related to your constants (only if you implement the interface)
  - drawback: not type-safe

我使用以下方法:

public final class Constants {
  public final class File {
    public static final int MIN_ROWS = 1;
    public static final int MAX_ROWS = 1000;

    private File() {}
  }

  public final class DB {
    public static final String name = "oups";

    public final class Connection {
      public static final String URL = "jdbc:tra-ta-ta";
      public static final String USER = "testUser";
      public static final String PASSWORD = "testPassword";

      private Connection() {}
    }

    private DB() {}
  }

  private Constants() {}
}

例如,我使用Constants.DB.Connection.URL来获取常量。 对我来说,它看起来更“面向对象”。

I use static final to declare constants and go with the ALL_CAPS naming notation. I have seen quite a few real life instances where all constants are bunched together into an interface. A few posts have rightly called that a bad practice, primarily because that's not what an interface is for. An interface should enforce a contract and should not be a place to put unrelated constants in. Putting it together into a class that cannot be instantiated (through a private constructor) too is fine if the constant semantics don't belong to a specific class(es). I always put a constant in the class that it's most related to, because that makes sense and is also easily maintainable.

枚举是表示一组值的好选择,但是如果您要存储强调绝对值的独立常量(例如。TIMEOUT = 100 ms)你可以直接使用静态的final方法。

对于常量,Enum是一个更好的选择。这里有一个例子

公共类myClass {

public enum myEnum {
    Option1("String1", 2), 
    Option2("String2", 2) 
    ;
    String str;
            int i;

            myEnum(String str1, int i1) { this.str = str1 ; this.i1 = i }


}

仅仅为了保存常量而使用接口是一种糟糕的做法(Josh Bloch将其命名为常量接口模式)。以下是乔希的建议:

如果常数与 现有的类或接口 是否应该将它们添加到类中 接口。例如,所有的 盒装的数字基元类, 如Integer和Double,导出 MIN_VALUE和MAX_VALUE常量。如果 这些常数最好看成 枚举类型的成员 应该用enum导出它们吗 类型。否则,您应该导出 带有不可实例化对象的常量 实用程序类。

例子:

// Constant utility class
package com.effectivejava.science;
public class PhysicalConstants {
    private PhysicalConstants() { }  // Prevents instantiation

    public static final double AVOGADROS_NUMBER   = 6.02214199e23;
    public static final double BOLTZMANN_CONSTANT = 1.3806503e-23;
    public static final double ELECTRON_MASS      = 9.10938188e-31;
}

关于命名约定:

按照惯例,这些字段有名称 由大写字母组成的 用下划线分隔的单词。它是 重要的是,这些字段包含 要么是原始值,要么是引用 到不可变对象。
