LearningActiveMq_CopyOnWriteArrayList
mechanism of CopyOnWriteArrayList
###Pic of mechanism
lock and array fields in CopyOnWriteArrayList:
public class CopyOnWriteArrayList<E>
implements List<E>, RandomAccess, Cloneable, java.io.Serializable {
private static final long serialVersionUID = 8673264195747942595L;
/** The lock protecting all mutators */
transient final ReentrantLock lock = new ReentrantLock();
/** The array, accessed only via getArray/setArray. */
private volatile transient Object[] array;
/**
* Gets the array. Non-private so as to also be accessible
* from CopyOnWriteArraySet class.
*/
final Object[] getArray() {
return array;
}
...
###for modification operation, we need to get the lock then copy the array and modify,then assign the new array to array variable.
/**
* Replaces the element at the specified position in this list with the
* specified element.
*
* @throws IndexOutOfBoundsException {@inheritDoc}
*/
public E set(int index, E element) {
final ReentrantLock lock = this.lock;
lock.lock();
try {
Object[] elements = getArray();
E oldValue = get(elements, index);
if (oldValue != element) {
int len = elements.length;
Object[] newElements = Arrays.copyOf(elements, len);
newElements[index] = element;
setArray(newElements);
} else {
// Not quite a no-op; ensures volatile write semantics
setArray(elements);
}
return oldValue;
} finally {
lock.unlock();
}
}
###but CopyOnWriteArrayList has a special iterator, which do not support modification operation,because, the array in mem iterator point to may be not the array variable point to.BTW, there will be no ConcurrentModifictionException through during iterating through the list.
/**
* {@inheritDoc}
*
* <p>The returned iterator provides a snapshot of the state of the list
* when the iterator was constructed. No synchronization is needed while
* traversing the iterator. The iterator does <em>NOT</em> support the
* <tt>remove</tt>, <tt>set</tt> or <tt>add</tt> methods.
*/
public ListIterator<E> listIterator() {
return new COWIterator<E>(getArray(), 0);
}
...
private static class COWIterator<E> implements ListIterator<E> {
/** Snapshot of the array */
private final Object[] snapshot;
/** Index of element to be returned by subsequent call to next. */
private int cursor;
/**
* Not supported. Always throws UnsupportedOperationException.
* @throws UnsupportedOperationException always; <tt>remove</tt>
* is not supported by this iterator.
*/
public void remove() {
throw new UnsupportedOperationException();
}
/**
* Not supported. Always throws UnsupportedOperationException.
* @throws UnsupportedOperationException always; <tt>set</tt>
* is not supported by this iterator.
*/
public void set(E e) {
throw new UnsupportedOperationException();
}
/**
* Not supported. Always throws UnsupportedOperationException.
* @throws UnsupportedOperationException always; <tt>add</tt>
* is not supported by this iterator.
*/
public void add(E e) {
throw new UnsupportedOperationException();
}
}
