I have read source code and review some posts at JavaEye. So write a bit idea here.
- ThreadLocal relation with Thread.
- How to store resources for each Thread separately.
public class Thread implements Runnable {
/* ThreadLocal values pertaining to this thread. This map is maintained
* by the ThreadLocal class. */
ThreadLocal.ThreadLocalMap threadLocals = null;
}
public class ThreadLocal<T> {
public T get() {
Thread t = Thread.currentThread();
ThreadLocalMap map = getMap(t);
if (map != null) {
return (T) map.get(this);
}
// Maps are constructed lazily. if the map for this thread
// doesn't exist, create it, with this ThreadLocal and its
// initial value as its only entry.
T value = initialValue();
createMap(t, value);
return value;
}
/**
* Sets the current thread's copy of this thread-local variable
* to the specified value. Many applications will have no need for
* this functionality, relying solely on the {@link #initialValue}
* method to set the values of thread-locals.
*
* @param value the value to be stored in the current threads' copy of
* this thread-local.
*/
public void set(T value) {
Thread t = Thread.currentThread();
ThreadLocalMap map = getMap(t);
if (map != null) {
// each Thread owns a ThreadLocalMap, and the map just store only one value.
map.set(this, value);
}
else {
createMap(t, value);
}
}
/**
* Get the map associated with a ThreadLocal. Overridden in
* InheritableThreadLocal.
*
* @param t the current thread
* @return the map
*/
ThreadLocalMap getMap(Thread t) {
return t.threadLocals;
}
}
