java自带定时任务功能(Timer&TimerTask)

java自带定时任务功能(Timer&TimerTask)

---

介绍

开发中我们经常会有这样的业务，比如在凌晨的时候跑一个任务或者指定在某个时刻跑任务，这就是所谓的定时任务。通常定时任务也是异步处理的，
此时我会联想到消息中间件的功能(异步与解耦),java自带了简单的定时任务功能，通过借助Timer和TimeTask可以时间简单的任务调度功能。


任务调度器的最核心两点
1、任务(定义具体干什么,通常实现Runnable接口)
2、调度器(定义何时如何调度任务)

java自带的简单任务调度无法满足企业开发应用，如果要实现比较复杂的任务调度那么就需要借助第三方组件比如Quartz。

通常实际开发我们会结合Quartz和Spring来达到我们任务调度的目的

Timer

java.util.Timer是一个实用工具类，该类用来调度一个线程，使它可以在将来某一时刻执行。 Java的Timer类可以调度一个任务运行一次，或定期运行。

说简单点Timer就是一个调度器。

        // Timer timer=new Timer(true);//指定运行这个Timer线程是否守护线程
        // Timer timer=new Timer("timerName", false);//命令和指定线程类型

    }

        // 备注:策略(默认使用fixedDelay)

        // fixedDelay:每次任务执行完毕之后delay固定的时间

    }

TimerTask类介绍和使用

TimerTask抽象类表示定义任务类，具体的任务都要继承该抽象类，该抽象类厘米那最主要的方法就是run()抽象方法。

代码

/**
 * A task that can be scheduled for one-time or repeated execution by a Timer.
 *
 * @author  Josh Bloch
 * @see     Timer
 * @since   1.3
 */

public abstract class TimerTask implements Runnable {
    /**
     * This object is used to control access to the TimerTask internals.
     */
    final Object lock = new Object();

    /**
     * The state of this task, chosen from the constants below.
     */
    int state = VIRGIN;

    /**
     * This task has not yet been scheduled.
     */
    static final int VIRGIN = 0;

    /**
     * This task is scheduled for execution.  If it is a non-repeating task,
     * it has not yet been executed.
     */
    static final int SCHEDULED   = 1;

    /**
     * This non-repeating task has already executed (or is currently
     * executing) and has not been cancelled.
     */
    static final int EXECUTED    = 2;

    /**
     * This task has been cancelled (with a call to TimerTask.cancel).
     */
    static final int CANCELLED   = 3;

    long nextExecutionTime;

    /**
     * Period in milliseconds for repeating tasks.  A positive value indicates
     * fixed-rate execution.  A negative value indicates fixed-delay execution.
     * A value of 0 indicates a non-repeating task.
     */
    long period = 0;


    /**
     * The action to be performed by this timer task.
     */
    public abstract void run();

    /**
     * Cancels this timer task.  If the task has been scheduled for one-time
     * execution and has not yet run, or has not yet been scheduled, it will
     * never run.  If the task has been scheduled for repeated execution, it
     * will never run again.  (If the task is running when this call occurs,
     * the task will run to completion, but will never run again.)
     */
    public boolean cancel() {
        synchronized(lock) {
            boolean result = (state == SCHEDULED);
            state = CANCELLED;
            return result;
        }
    }

    /**
     * Returns the scheduled execution time of the most recent
     * actual execution of this task.  (If this method is invoked
     * while task execution is in progress, the return value is the scheduled
     * execution time of the ongoing task execution.)
     */
    public long scheduledExecutionTime() {
        synchronized(lock) {
            return (period < 0 ? nextExecutionTime + period
                               : nextExecutionTime - period);
        }
    }
}

总结

如果是简单的定时任务设置，则可以使用java自带的TImer和TimerTask来完成，如果比较复杂的推荐使用Quartz任务调度框架来完成。
