一种线程交互模型的实现

本文介绍一种采用线程交互模型，即主线程执行队列的Task，其他线程投递Task进入主线程的任务队列，投递方式类似于Win32 SDK的PostMessage和SendMessage方法，提供异步投递和同步投递。
首先我们需要一个BlockAndAwaitableQueue类，该类的功能是提供除执行Task线程外的其他线程的任务投递功能，该类包含一个任务列表，即存放待执行的Task。同时要考虑到多线程的同步问题，需要采用同步锁进行同步。同时要保证BlockAndAwaitableQueue的主执行线程在无Task可执行时不占用过多的系统资源需要实现一种monitor模型。即在没有Task可执行时，需要使该线程进入等待队列中，而在有Task投入进来时，需要唤醒Task列表中的等待队列中的当前执行线程。该模型有个限制，即所提交的Task不应占用过多的执行时间。

public class BlockAndAwaitableQueue{
            private ArrayList taskList = new ArrayList();

            private volatile boolean bStop = false;

            private volatile boolean bRunning = false;

            private Thread runningThread;

            Runnable finalTask = new Runnable()
            {
            	public void run()
            	{
            	   System.out.println("runningThread will exit.");

            		   synchronized (this) {           	     

           				       bRunning = false;

           				       System.out.println("notify ...");
           				       synchronized (runningThread) {
           				    	 runningThread.notifyAll();
							}		   

					    }       
            		   System.out.println("runningThread exit.");
            	}
            };
