Class Overview
Implements a thread-local storage, that is, a variable for which each thread
has its own value. All threads share the same ThreadLocal object,
but each sees a different value when accessing it, and changes made by one
thread do not affect the other threads. The implementation supports
null values.

Object
|
clone()
Creates and returns a copy of this Object.

|
boolean

equals(Object o)
Compares this instance with the specified object and indicates if they
are equal.
|
|
void
|
finalize()
Is called before the object's memory is being reclaimed by the VM.
|

final
Class<? extends Object>
|
getClass()
Returns the unique instance of Class which represents this
object's class. |
|
int
|
hashCode()
Returns an integer hash code for this object.
|

|
notify()
Causes a thread which is waiting on this object's monitor (by means of
calling one of the wait() methods) to be woken up.
|
|
final
void

notifyAll()
Causes all threads which are waiting on this object's monitor (by means
of calling one of the wait() methods) to be woken up.

toString()
Returns a string containing a concise, human-readable description of this
object.

ThreadLocal
()
Creates a new thread-local variable.
Public Methods
public
T
get
()
Returns the value of this variable for the current thread. If an entry
doesn't yet exist for this variable on this thread, this method will
create an entry, populating the value with the result of
initialValue().
Returns
- the current value of the variable for the calling thread.
public
void
remove
()
Removes the entry for this variable in the current thread. If this call
is followed by a get() before a set(T),
#get() will call initialValue() and create a new
entry with the resulting value.
public
void
set
(T value)
Sets the value of this variable for the current thread. If set to
null, the value will be set to null and the underlying entry will
still be present.
Parameters
| value
| the new value of the variable for the caller thread.
|
Protected Methods

T
initialValue
()
Provides the initial value of this variable for the current thread.
The default implementation returns null.
Returns
- the initial value of the variable.
