配合线程池定义可继承的线程变量InheritableThreadLocal

        说到可继承的线程变量，大家可能会想到jdk里的实现java.lang.InheritableThreadLocal。它拥有和线程变量ThreadLocal一样的功能，并且，在当前线程上创建一个新的线程实例Thread时，会把这些线程变量从当前线程传递给新的线程实例。（此时线程变量不再线程安全，需要考虑线程安全问题）

InheritableThreadLocal:

 

public class InheritableThreadLocal<T> extends ThreadLocal<T> {
    /**
     * Computes the child's initial value for this inheritable thread-local
     * variable as a function of the parent's value at the time the child
     * thread is created.  This method is called from within the parent
     * thread before the child is started.
     * <p>
     * This method merely returns its input argument, and should be overridden
     * if a different behavior is desired.
     *
     * @param parentValue the parent thread's value
     * @return the child thread's initial value
     */
    protected T childValue(T parentValue) {
        return parentValue;
    }

    /**
     * Get the map associated with a ThreadLocal.
     *
     * @param t the current thread
     */
    ThreadLocalMap getMap(Thread t) {
       return t.inheritableThreadLocals;
    }

    /**
     * Create the map associated with a ThreadLocal.
     *
     * @param t the current thread
     * @param firstValue value for the initial entry of the table.
     * @param map the map to store.
     */
    void createMap(Thread t, T firstValue) {
        t.inheritableThreadLocals = new ThreadLocalMap(this, firstValue);
    }
}

 该类继承了ThreadLocal并重写了和ThreadLocalMap相关的方法。这个ThreadLocalMap其实是java线程对象Thread类的两个属性

 

class Thread implements Runnable {
    .......

    /* ThreadLocal values pertaining to this thread. This map is maintained
     * by the ThreadLocal class. */
    ThreadLocal.ThreadLocalMap threadLocals = null;

    /*
     * InheritableThreadLocal values pertaining to this thread. This map is
     * maintained by the InheritableThreadLocal class.
     */
    ThreadLocal.ThreadLocalMap inheritableThreadLocals = null;
    ........
}

 这两个ThreadLocalMap其实就是线程变量实际存放的地方，我们用了线程变量set内容，其实就是往ThreadLocalMap里put内容，key是你定义的ThreadLocal本身，value是你往线程变量set的内容。因为内容是存在线程本身上，所以，同一个线程跨了多少个方法都可以访问到，不同线程就访问不到或访问到不同的对象，实现了线程安全。

   ThreadLocal的set方法：

public void set(T value) {
        Thread t = Thread.currentThread();
        ThreadLocalMap map = getMap(t);
        if (map != null)
            map.set(this, value);
        else
            createMap(t, value);
    }

 其中

ThreadLocalMap map = getMap(t);<
