根据 Java API, 所谓 shutdown hook 就是已经初始化但尚未开始执行的线程对象。在
Runtime 注册后,如果 jvm 要停止前,这些 shutdown hook 便开始执行。
有什么用呢?就是在你的程序结束前,执行一些清理工作,尤其是没有用户界面的程序。
很明显,这些 shutdown hook 都是些线程对象,因此,你的清理工作要写在 run() 里。
根据 Java API,你的清理工作不能太重了,要尽快结束。但仍然可以对数据库进行操作。
package dirk.runtime;
public class ShutDownHook implements Runnable {
public ShutDownHook() {
// register a shutdown hook for this class.
// a shutdown hook is an initialzed but not started thread, which will get up and run
// when the JVM is about to exit. this is used for short clean up tasks.
Runtime.getRuntime().addShutdownHook(new Thread(this));
System.out.println(">>> shutdown hook registered");
}
// this method will be executed of course, since it's a Runnable.
// tasks should not be light and short, accessing database is alright though.
public void run() {
System.out.println("/n>>> About to execute: " + ShutDownHook.class.getName() + ".run() to clean up before JVM exits.");
this.cleanUp();

// (-: a very simple task to execute

for(int i=0; i < 7; i++ ) {
