Java併發Futures和Callables類

java.util.concurrent.Callable對象可以返回由線程完成的計算結果，而runnable接口只能運行線程。 Callable對象返回Future對象，該對象提供監視線程執行的任務進度的方法。 Future對象可用於檢查Callable的狀態，然後線程完成後從Callable中檢索結果。 它還提供超時功能。

語法

//submit the callable using ThreadExecutor
//and get the result as a Future object
Future result10 = executor.submit(new FactorialService(10));

//get the result using get method of the Future object
//get method waits till the thread execution and then return the result of the execution. 
Long factorial10 = result10.get();

實例

以下TestThread程序顯示了基於線程的環境中Futures和Callables的使用。

import java.util.concurrent.Callable;
import java.util.concurrent.ExecutionException;
import java.util.concurrent.ExecutorService;
import java.util.concurrent.Executors;
import java.util.concurrent.Future;

public class TestThread {

   public static void main(final String[] arguments) throws InterruptedException, ExecutionException {
      ExecutorService executor = Executors.newSingleThreadExecutor();

      System.out.println("Factorial Service called for 10!");
      Future<Long> result10 = executor.submit(new FactorialService(10));

      System.out.println("Factorial Service called for 20!");
      Future<Long> result20 = executor.submit(new FactorialService(20));

      Long factorial10 = result10.get();
      System.out.println("10! = " + factorial10);

      Long factorial20 = result20.get();
      System.out.println("20! = " + factorial20);

      executor.shutdown();
   }  

   static class FactorialService implements Callable<Long>{
      private int number;
      public FactorialService(int number) {
         this.number = number;
      }

      @Override
      public Long call() throws Exception {
         return factorial();
      }

      private Long factorial() throws InterruptedException{
         long result = 1; 
         while (number != 0) { 
            result = number * result; 
            number--; 
            Thread.sleep(100); 
         } 
         return result;    
      }
   }
}

這將產生以下結果。

Factorial Service called for 10!
Factorial Service called for 20!
10! = 3628800
20! = 2432902008176640000
