由浅入深Java线程之ThreadGroup

Java并发包里面提供了ThreadGroup类可以帮助我们有效地管理线程组。让我们来看一个生动的例子. Java线程组可以有线程对象或者子线程组组成。也就是说ThreadGroup可以是产生线程树。
让我们看一个简单的例子，这个例子模仿一个搜索任务，将启动10个线程遍历获取指定目录下面的excel文件列表，一旦有一个线程完成遍历，将中断其余的9个任务。

import java.io.File;
import java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit;

public class SearchTask implements Runnable {

	private String rootDir;
	private SearchResult result;

	public SearchTask(String rootDir, SearchResult result) {
		super();
		this.rootDir = rootDir;
		this.result = result;
	}

	public String getRootDir() {
		return rootDir;
	}

	public void setRootDir(String rootDir) {
		this.rootDir = rootDir;
	}

	public SearchResult getResult() {
		return result;
	}

	public void setResult(SearchResult result) {
		this.result = result;
	}

	@Override
	public void run() {
		String name = Thread.currentThread().getName();
		System.out.printf("Thread %s: Start\n",name);
		try{
			doSearch(new File(this.rootDir));
			result.setTaskName(name);
		}catch(InterruptedException e){
			System.out.printf("Thread %s: Interrupted\n",name);
			return;
		}
		System.out.printf("Thread %s: End\n",name);
	}

	private void doSearch(File root) throws InterruptedException{	
		if(root != null && root.isDirectory()){
			TimeUnit.SECONDS.sleep(1);
			File[] files = root.listFiles();
			if( files != null ){
				for(File file : files){
					if(file.isFile() && file.getName().endsWith(".xls")){
						result.getFiles().add(file.getAbsolutePath());
						result.increaseCount();
					}else if(file.isDirectory()){
						doSearch(file);
					}
				}
			}
		}
	}
}
package com.concurrent.exercise.threadgroup;

import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;

public class SearchResult {

	private int count = 0;
	private String taskName;
	private List<String> files = new ArrayList<String>();

	public String getTaskName() {
		return taskName;
	}

	public void setTaskName(String taskName) {
		this.taskName = taskName;
	}

	public void setCount(int count) {
		this.count = count;
	}

	public void setFiles(List<String> files) {
		this.files = files;
	}

	public int getCount() {
		return count;
	}

	public void increaseCount() {
		count++;
	}

	public List<String> getFiles(){
		return files;
	}

}

import java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit;

public class TestThreadGroup {

	public static void main(String[] args){
		String searchDir = "D:\\";
		ThreadGroup threadGroup = new ThreadGroup("Searcher");
		for(int i = 0; i < 3; i++){
			SearchTask task = new SearchTask(searchDir,new SearchResult());
			Thread thread = new Thread(threadGroup, task);
			thread.start();
			try{
				TimeUnit.SECONDS.sleep(2);
			}catch(InterruptedException e) {
				e.printStackTrace();
			}
		}
		waitFinish(threadGroup);
		threadGroup.interrupt();
	}

	private static void waitFinish(ThreadGroup threadGroup) {
		while (threadGroup.activeCount() > 2) {
			try {
				list(threadGroup);
				TimeUnit.SECONDS.sleep(1);
			} catch (InterruptedException e) {
				e.printStackTrace();
			}
		}
	}

	private static void list(ThreadGroup threadGroup) {
		assert(threadGroup != null);
		threadGroup.list();
	}

}

在启动三个线程后，进入waitFinish方法，当其中一个线程结束后，waitFinish立即对出并调用ThreadGroup终止剩下的线程。
由于ThreadGroup存储了线程和子线程组对象，可以使用ThreadGroup对一组线程执行统一的操作，比如interrupt.
可以参考Java API Doc知道更多关于ThreadGroup的方法。
