I was writing my own implementation of BlockingQueue for practice. I am trying to avoid using the synchronized keyword for the methods. I would instead like to use ReentrantLock.
What is the best way to write this implementation? I am not a Java ninja and would greatly appreciate if someone could pinpoint the errors in my code here and suggest better ways of implementing it.
public class MyBlockingQueue<T> {
private Queue<T> queue;
private AtomicInteger limit = new AtomicInteger(10);
private Lock put_lock = new ReentrantLock();
private Lock take_lock = new ReentrantLock();
private Condition put_condition = put_lock.newCondition();
private Condition take_condition = take_lock.newCondition();
public MyBlockingQueue(AtomicInteger limit){
queue = new LinkedList<T>();
this.limit = limit;
}
public boolean put(T item) throws InterruptedException{
put_lock.lockInterruptibly();
try {
while(queue.size() == limit.get()) {
put_condition.await();
}
put_condition.signal();
queue.add(item);
} finally{
put_lock.unlock();
}
return true;
}
public T take() throws InterruptedException{
take_lock.lockInterruptibly();
try {
while (queue.size() == 0) {
take_condition.await();
}
take_condition.signal();
return queue.poll();
} finally {
take_lock.unlock();
}
}
Thanks for your time!
