Constructor Detail

ThreadLocal

public ThreadLocal(T initialValue)

Parameters:

initialValue - the value this thread local will initially have for all Threads. This should not be mutable, as it will be shared between all Threads.

ThreadLocal

public ThreadLocal(Supplier<T> initialValueCreator)

Parameters:

initialValueCreator - a Supplier whose get method is called on a per Thread basis in order to establish the initial value for that Thread, allowing a different initial instance per Thread.

Method Detail

set

public void set(T value)

Parameters:

value - the new value for the calling Thread - does not affect the value for any other Thread.

get

public T get()

Returns:

the value for the calling Thread, or the initial value if this has not been set or has been removed.

remove

public void remove()

Removes the value for the calling Thread. A subsequent call to get() will return the initial value.
