当连接到一个套接字时,当前线程将会被阻塞直到建立连接或产生超时为止。同样地,当通过套接字读写数据时,当前线程也会被阻塞知道操作成功或产生超时为止。
在交互式的应用中,也许会考虑为用户提供一个选项,用以取消那些不会成功的连接。但是当线程因套接字长时间无法响应而发生阻塞时,无法通过调用interrupt来解除阻塞。
为了中断套接字操作,可以使用java.nio包提供的一个特性——SocketChannel 类。可以使用如下方法打开SocketChannel:
SocketChannel channel = SocketChannel.open(new InetSocketAddress(host, port));
通道(channel)并没有与之相关联的流。实际上,它所拥有的read和write方法都是通过使用Buffer对象来实现的。ReadableByteChannel接口和WritableByteChannel接口都声明了这两个方法。
如果不想处理缓冲区,可以使用Scanner类从SocketChannel中读取信息,因为Scanner有一个带有ReadableByteChannel参数的构造器。
Scanner in = new Scanner(channel);
通过调用静态方法Channels.newOutputStream,可以将通道转换成输出流。
OutputStream outStream = Channels.newOutputStream(channel);
上述操作都是必须做的。假设线程正在执行打开、读取或写入操作,此时如果线程发生中断,那么这些操作将不会陷入阻塞,而是以抛出异常的方式结束。
下面的程序对比了可中断套接字和阻塞套接字:服务器将连续发送数字,并在每发送十个数字之后停滞一下。点击两个按钮中的任何一个,都会启动一个线程来连连接服务器并打印输出。第一个线程使用可中断套接字,而第二个线程使用阻塞套接字。如果在第一批的十个数字的读取过程中点击“Cancel”按钮,这两个线程都会中断。
但是,在第一批十个数字之后,就只能中断第一个线程了,第二个线程将保持阻塞直到服务器最终关闭连接。
