However, when access to the 037 * resources initialized in a background thread is actually required, 038 * synchronization has to be performed to ensure that their initialization is 039 * complete. 040 * </p> 041 * <p> 042 * This abstract base class provides support for this use case. A concrete 043 * subclass must implement the {@link #initialize()} method. Here an arbitrary 044 * initialization can be implemented, and a result object can be returned. With 045 * this method in place the basic usage of this class is as follows (where 046 * {@code MyBackgroundInitializer} is a concrete subclass): 047 * </p> 048 * 049 * <pre> 050 * MyBackgroundInitializer initializer = new MyBackgroundInitializer(); 051 * initializer.start(); 052 * // Now do some other things. Initialization runs in a parallel thread 053 * ... 054 * // Wait for the end of initialization and access the result object 055 * Object result = initializer.get(); 056 * </pre> 057 * 058 * <p> 059 * After the construction of a {@link BackgroundInitializer} object its 060 * {@link #start()} method has to be called. This starts the background 061 * processing. The application can now continue to do other things. When it 062 * needs access to the object produced by the {@link BackgroundInitializer} it 063 * calls its {@link #get()} method. If initialization is already complete, 064 * {@link #get()} returns the result object immediately. Otherwise it blocks 065 * until the result object is fully constructed. 066 * </p> 067 * <p> 068 * {@link BackgroundInitializer} is a thin wrapper around a {@link Future} 069 * object and uses an {@link ExecutorService} for running the background 070 * initialization task. It is possible to pass in an {@link ExecutorService} at 071 * construction time or set one using {@code setExternalExecutor()} before 072 * {@code start()} was called. Then this object is used to spawn the background 073 * task. If no {@link ExecutorService} has been provided, {@code 074 * BackgroundInitializer} creates a temporary {@link ExecutorService} and 075 * destroys it when initialization is complete. 076 * </p> 077 * <p> 078 * The methods provided by {@link BackgroundInitializer} provide for minimal 079 * interaction with the wrapped {@link Future} object. It is also possible to 080 * obtain the {@link Future} object directly. Then the enhanced functionality 081 * offered by {@link Future} can be used, e.g. to check whether the background 082 * operation is complete or to cancel the operation. 083 * </p> 084 * 085 * @since 3.0 086 * @param <T> the type of the object managed by this initializer class 087 */ 088public class BackgroundInitializer<T> extends AbstractConcurrentInitializer<T, Exception> { 089 090 /** 091 * Builds a new instance. 092 * 093 * @param <T> the type of the object managed by the initializer. 094 * @param <I> the type of the initializer managed by this builder. 095 * @since 3.14.0 096 */ 097 public static class Builder<I extends BackgroundInitializer<T>, T> extends AbstractBuilder<I, T, Builder<I, T>, Exception> { 098 099 /** 100 * The external executor service for executing tasks. null is a permitted value. 101 */ 102 private ExecutorService externalExecutor; 103 104 /** 105 * Constructs a new instance. 106 */ 107 public Builder() { 108 // empty 109 } 110 111 @SuppressWarnings("unchecked") 112 @Override 113 public I get() { 114 return (I) new BackgroundInitializer(getInitializer(), getCloser(), externalExecutor); 115 } 116 117 /** 118 * Sets the external executor service for executing tasks. null is a permitted value. 119 * 120 * @see org.apache.commons.lang3.concurrent.BackgroundInitializer#setExternalExecutor(ExecutorService) 121 * 122 * @param externalExecutor the {@link ExecutorService} to be used. 123 * @return {@code this} instance. 124 */ 125 public Builder<I, T> setExternalExecutor(final ExecutorService externalExecutor) { 126 this.externalExecutor = externalExecutor; 127 return asThis(); 128 } 129 130 } 131 132 private final class InitializationTask implements Callable<T> { 133 /** Stores the executor service to be destroyed at the end. */ 134 private final ExecutorService execFinally; 135 136 /** 137 * Creates a new instance of {@link InitializationTask} and initializes 138 * it with the {@link ExecutorService} to be destroyed at the end. 139 * 140 * @param exec the {@link ExecutorService} 141 */ 142 InitializationTask(final ExecutorService exec) { 143 execFinally = exec; 144 } 145 146 /** 147 * Initiates initialization and returns the result. 148 * 149 * @return the result object 150 * @throws Exception if an error occurs 151 */ 152 @Override 153 public T call() throws Exception { 154 try { 155 return initialize(); 156 } finally { 157 if (execFinally != null) { 158 execFinally.shutdown(); 159 } 160 } 161 } 162 } 163 164 /** 165 * Creates a new builder. 166 * 167 * @param <T> the type of object to build. 168 * @return a new builder. 169 * @since 3.14.0 170 */ 171 public static <T> Builder<BackgroundInitializer<T>, T> builder() { 172 return new Builder<>(); 173 } 174 175 /** The external executor service for executing tasks. */ 176 private ExecutorService externalExecutor; // @GuardedBy("this") 177 178 /** A reference to the executor service that is actually used. */ 179 private ExecutorService executor; // @GuardedBy("this") 180 181 /** Stores the handle to the background task. */ 182 private Future<T> future; // @GuardedBy("this") 183 184 /** 185 * Creates a new instance of {@link BackgroundInitializer}.
