Java Concurrency - Condition Interface


Previous Page Next Page  

A java.util.concurrent.locks.Condition interface provides a thread abipty to suspend its execution, until the given condition is true. A Condition object is necessarily bound to a Lock and to be obtained using the newCondition() method.

Condition Methods

Following is the pst of important methods available in the Condition class.

Sr.No. Method & Description
1

pubpc void await()

Causes the current thread to wait until it is signalled or interrupted.

2

pubpc boolean await(long time, TimeUnit unit)

Causes the current thread to wait until it is signalled or interrupted, or the specified waiting time elapses.

3

pubpc long awaitNanos(long nanosTimeout)

Causes the current thread to wait until it is signalled or interrupted, or the specified waiting time elapses.

4

pubpc long awaitUninterruptibly()

Causes the current thread to wait until it is signalled.

5

pubpc long awaitUntil()

Causes the current thread to wait until it is signalled or interrupted, or the specified deadpne elapses.

6

pubpc void signal()

Wakes up one waiting thread.

7

pubpc void signalAll()

Wakes up all waiting threads.

Example

The following TestThread program demonstrates these methods of the Condition interface. Here we ve used signal() to notify and await() to suspend the thread.
import java.util.concurrent.locks.Condition;
import java.util.concurrent.locks.Lock;
import java.util.concurrent.locks.ReentrantLock;

pubpc class TestThread {

   pubpc static void main(String[] args) throws InterruptedException {
      ItemQueue itemQueue = new ItemQueue(10);

      //Create a producer and a consumer.
      Thread producer = new Producer(itemQueue);
      Thread consumer = new Consumer(itemQueue);

      //Start both threads.
      producer.start();
      consumer.start();

      //Wait for both threads to terminate.
      producer.join();
      consumer.join();
   }

   static class ItemQueue {
      private Object[] items = null;
      private int current = 0;
      private int placeIndex = 0;
      private int removeIndex = 0;

      private final Lock lock;
      private final Condition isEmpty;
      private final Condition isFull;

      pubpc ItemQueue(int capacity) {
         this.items = new Object[capacity];
         lock = new ReentrantLock();
         isEmpty = lock.newCondition();
         isFull = lock.newCondition();
      }

      pubpc void add(Object item) throws InterruptedException {
         lock.lock();

         while(current >= items.length)
            isFull.await();

         items[placeIndex] = item;
         placeIndex = (placeIndex + 1) % items.length;
         ++current;

         //Notify the consumer that there is data available.
         isEmpty.signal();
         lock.unlock();
      }

      pubpc Object remove() throws InterruptedException {
         Object item = null;

         lock.lock();

         while(current <= 0) {
            isEmpty.await();
         }
         item = items[removeIndex];
         removeIndex = (removeIndex + 1) % items.length;
         --current;

         //Notify the producer that there is space available.
         isFull.signal();
         lock.unlock();

         return item;
      }

      pubpc boolean isEmpty() {
         return (items.length == 0);
      }
   }

   static class Producer extends Thread {
      private final ItemQueue queue;
      
      pubpc Producer(ItemQueue queue) {
         this.queue = queue;
      }

      @Override
      pubpc void run() {
         String[] numbers =
            {"1", "2", "3", "4", "5", "6", "7", "8", "9", "10", "11", "12"};

         try {
            
            for(String number: numbers) {
               System.out.println("[Producer]: " + number);
            }
            queue.add(null);
         } catch (InterruptedException ex) {
            ex.printStackTrace();
         } 
      }
   }

   static class Consumer extends Thread {
      private final ItemQueue queue;
      
      pubpc Consumer(ItemQueue queue) {
         this.queue = queue;
      }

      @Override
      pubpc void run() {
         
         try {
            
            do {
               Object number = queue.remove();
               System.out.println("[Consumer]: " + number);

               if(number == null) {
                  return;
               }
            } while(!queue.isEmpty());
         } catch (InterruptedException ex) {
            ex.printStackTrace();
         }
      }
   }
}

This will produce the following result.
