Threadlocal example

Business layer can access userId without passing the parameter from web layer.

 

 package threadlocal;  
   
 class SecurityContext {  
   
   private String userId = null;  
   
   public String getUserId() {  
     return userId;  
   }  
   
   public void setUserId(String userId) {  
     this.userId = userId;  
   }  
 }  
   
 class MyThreadLocal {  
   private static final ThreadLocal userThreadLocal = new ThreadLocal();  
   
   public static void set(SecurityContext user) {  
     userThreadLocal.set(user);  
   }  
   
   public static void unset() {  
     userThreadLocal.remove();  
   }  
   
   public static SecurityContext get() {  
     return (SecurityContext)userThreadLocal.get();  
   }  
 }  
   
 class BusinessService {  
   
   public void businessMethod() {  
     SecurityContext securityContext = MyThreadLocal.get();  
     System.out.println(securityContext.getUserId());  
   }  
 }  
   
 public class Main extends Thread{  
   public static void main(String[] args){  
     new Main().start();  
     new Main().start();  
   }  
   
   @Override  
   public void run() {  
     SecurityContext securityContext = new SecurityContext();  
     securityContext.setUserId(getName());  
     MyThreadLocal.set(securityContext);  
     new BusinessService().businessMethod();  
     MyThreadLocal.unset();  
   }  
 }
