It * implements the following algorithm to create and initialize an object in its * {@link #get()} method: * </p> * <ul> * <li>First it is checked whether the {@code AtomicReference} variable contains * already a value. If this is the case, the value is directly returned.</li> * <li>Otherwise the {@link #initialize()} method is called. This method must be * defined in concrete subclasses to actually create the managed object.</li> * <li>After the object was created by {@link #initialize()} it is checked * whether the {@code AtomicReference} variable is still undefined. This has to * be done because in the meantime another thread may have initialized the * object. If the reference is still empty, the newly created object is stored * in it and returned by this method.</li> * <li>Otherwise the value stored in the {@code AtomicReference} is returned. * </ul> * <p> * Because atomic variables are used this class does not need any * synchronization. So there is no danger of deadlock, and access to the managed * object is efficient. However, if multiple threads access the {@code * AtomicInitializer} object before it has been initialized almost at the same * time, it can happen that {@link #initialize()} is called multiple times. The * algorithm outlined above guarantees that {@link #get()} always returns the * same object though. * </p> * <p> * Compared with the {@link LazyInitializer} class, this class can be more * efficient because it does not need synchronization. The drawback is that the * {@link #initialize()} method can be called multiple times which may be * problematic if the creation of the managed object is expensive. As a rule of * thumb this initializer implementation is preferable if there are not too many * threads involved and the probability that multiple threads access an * uninitialized object is small. If there is high parallelism, * {@link LazyInitializer} is more appropriate. * </p> * * @since 3.0 * @param <T> the type of the object managed by this initializer class */ public abstract class AtomicInitializer<T> implements ConcurrentInitializer Other Java examples (source code examples)Here is a short list of links related to this Java AtomicInitializer.java source code file: |
