Does anyone know in Java can a thread return a value, like a function can do?
Thanks! |

发帖数: 274 | 2 no, if what you want to know is "can run() return a value",
Runnable interface defines run() as void.

Of course you can. But you have to define your own runnable (wrapper).
do?

How?
The only way I can think of is a wait/notify mechanism.

It is much similar to asynchronous call (may be I should say the same)
I've said, create your own runnable. Also, I suggest you can have your own
thread pool
public interface MyRunnable {
public int run ();
}
or
public class MyThread {
private Thread thread;
public int run () {
thread = new Thread();
thread.start();
...
return something;
}
}
...
MyThread mt = new MyThread ();
int result = mt.run();
wrap Thread running function in the implementation of

What is your point doing this? What is the advantage
over sth like this:
public class MyRunnable
{
private Object _mutex = new Object();
private int _value = -1;
public void run()
{
...
update();
}
private void update()
{
syncrhonized( _mutex ) {
_value=1;
_mutex.notify();
}
}
public Object getLock(){ return _mutex; }
public int getValue(){ return _value;}
}

发帖数: 737 | 8 is the "something" calculated in the new thread?
if yes, do you need to wait for the thread to finish the calculation before
you can "return something"
if not, what's the point of doing all this?

He just wants a thread can return a value, or say, needs a sort of
asynchronous call. Your function is mutex operation. I don't think they are
the same thing.

It can be calculated in the new thread. My sample is a typical asynchronous
call. So, you may get invalid value from the call since the new thread may not
finish.
However, there are many ways to get a "correct" value. Here is a sample
public class MyValue {
boolean ready=false;
int realvalue;
public boolean getReady() {
return ready;
}
public void setReady (boolean ready) {
this.ready = ready;
}
}
...
MainThread:
MyValue returnValue = myThread.run();
while

With all due respect, I do not often call this kind of
code "program". You are wasting your CPU time doing nothing.
You could put a Thread.sleep(100) in the while loop.
That could be somewhat acceptable, especially under
such circumstances that the program is not mission critical
i.e. requirement on programming correctness is not as high.

Neither do I. But here is just a sample. I know somebody will jump out:-) No
Kidding!

发帖数: 158 | 13 guys, just learn the right way. Object.wait(), Object.notify(),
Thread.join(), etc. or check EDU.oswego.cs.dl.util.concurrent,
which will be in java 1.5 standard API.
btw, do not call Thread.run(). that's a normal sync method call! |
