[参考]ThreadLocal无法解决共享对象的更新问题。建议使用staticThreadLocal对象，该对象由同一线程中的所有操作共享。 [必选]remove()方法必须由ThreadLocal变量实现，特别是在使用经常重用线程的线程池时。否则，可能会影响后续的业务逻辑，并导致意想不到的问题，如内存泄漏。

Java中的ThreadLocal类使您能够创建只能由同一个线程读写的变量。因此，即使两个线程正在执行相同的代码，并且该代码有一个对ThreadLocal变量的引用，那么两个线程也不能看到彼此的ThreadLocal变量。

当您希望某些状态不应该在不同线程之间共享，但每个线程在其整个生命周期内都可以访问时，ThreadLocal非常有用。

As an example, imagine a web application, where each request is served by a different thread. Imagine that for each request you need a piece of data multiple times, which is quite expensive to compute. However, that data might have changed for each incoming request, which means that you can't use a plain cache. A simple, quick solution to this problem would be to have a ThreadLocal variable holding access to this data, so that you have to calculate it only once for each request. Of course, this problem can also be solved without the use of ThreadLocal, but I devised it for illustration purposes.

也就是说，请记住ThreadLocals本质上是一种全局状态的形式。因此，它有许多其他含义，只有在考虑了所有其他可能的解决方案后才应该使用。

Webapp服务器可能会保留一个线程池，并且在响应客户端之前应该删除ThreadLocal变量，因此当前线程可能会被下一个请求重用。

在《Java并发实践》一书中有一个很好的例子。作者(Joshua Bloch)解释了线程限制是实现线程安全的最简单方法之一，而ThreadLocal是维护线程限制的更正式的方法。最后，他还解释了人们如何滥用它作为全局变量。

我已经从提到的书中复制了文本，但代码3.10是缺失的，因为它不太重要，了解ThreadLocal应该在哪里使用。

Thread-local variables are often used to prevent sharing in designs based on mutable Singletons or global variables. For example, a single-threaded application might maintain a global database connection that is initialized at startup to avoid having to pass a Connection to every method. Since JDBC connections may not be thread-safe, a multithreaded application that uses a global connection without additional coordination is not thread-safe either. By using a ThreadLocal to store the JDBC connection, as in ConnectionHolder in Listing 3.10, each thread will have its own connection. ThreadLocal is widely used in implementing application frameworks. For example, J2EE containers associate a transaction context with an executing thread for the duration of an EJB call. This is easily implemented using a static Thread-Local holding the transaction context: when framework code needs to determine what transaction is currently running, it fetches the transaction context from this ThreadLocal. This is convenient in that it reduces the need to pass execution context information into every method, but couples any code that uses this mechanism to the framework. It is easy to abuse ThreadLocal by treating its thread confinement property as a license to use global variables or as a means of creating “hidden” method arguments. Like global variables, thread-local variables can detract from reusability and introduce hidden couplings among classes, and should therefore be used with care.

缓存，有时你必须计算相同的值很多时间，所以通过存储最后一组输入到一个方法和结果，你可以加快代码。通过使用线程本地存储，您可以避免考虑锁定问题。
