界: Time and State

分散式運算與時間和狀態相關。也就是說,為了使多個元件進行通訊,必須共用狀態,並且這一切都需要時間。

大多數的程式設計師將他們的工作擬人化。他們想採用一種控制執行緒來執行整個程式,就像他們必須自己完成這項工作一樣。但是,現代的電腦可以非常快速地切換工作,並且在多核心多 CPU 或分散式系統中,兩個事件可能恰好同時發生。瑕疵急於填補程式設計師在程式執行模型與實際情況之間的差距。這些瑕疵與執行緒、處理序、時間和資訊之間的意外互動有關。這些互動透過共用狀態發生:信號、變數、檔案系統,以及基本上任何可以儲存資訊的項目。

Race Condition: Singleton Member Field

Abstract
Servlet 成員欄位可能會允許某一使用者看見其他使用者的資料。
Explanation
許多 Servlet 開發人員並不了解 Servlet 都是單一個體。Servlet 只能有一個實例,而且當不同執行緒同時處理多個要求時,都會使用及重複使用該單一實例來處理這些要求。

這種誤解的結果為:由於開發人員使用 Servlet 成員欄位,所以使用者可能會看到其他使用者的資料。換句話說,將使用者資料儲存在 Servlet 成員欄位中會造成資料存取的 race condition。

範例 1:下面的 Servlet 將要求參數的值儲存在成員欄位中,並且接著會將該參數值回傳到回應輸出串流。


public class GuestBook extends HttpServlet {

String name;

protected void doPost (HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse res) {
name = req.getParameter("name");
...
out.println(name + ", thanks for visiting!");
}
}


當這段程式碼在單一使用者環境中正常地運作時,如果兩個使用者幾乎同時存取此 Servlet,可能會導致這兩個要求處理器的執行緒以下列方式插入:

執行緒 1: 將「Dick」指派至 name
執行緒 2: 將「Jane」指派至 name
執行緒 1: 列印「Jane, thanks for visiting!
執行緒 2: 列印「Jane, thanks for visiting!

因此會向第一個使用者顯示第二個使用者的名稱。
