本文实例讲述了Java基于Runtime调用外部程序出现阻塞的解决方法， 是一个很实用的技巧。分享给大家供大家参考。具体分析如下：
有时候在java代码中会调用一些外部程序，比如SwfTools来转换swf、ffmpeg来转换视频等。如果你的代码这样写：Runtime.getRuntime().exec(command)，会发现程序一下就执行完毕，而在命令行里要执行一会，是因为java没有等待外部程序的执行完毕，此时就需要使用阻塞，来等待外部程序执行结果：
InputStream stderr = process.getInputStream();InputStreamReader isr = new InputStreamReader(stderr, "GBK");BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(isr);String line = null;while ((line = br.readLine()) != null) System.out.println(line);int exitValue = process.waitFor();
对于一般的外部程序使用上面的阻塞代码就可以，至少pdf2swf.exe是没有问题的。
但是紧接着又发现对于ffmpeg来说，以上代码会让程序卡住不动，需要使用另一种方式，封装成了一个方法，如下：
@SuppressWarnings("static-access")public static int doWaitFor(Process process) { InputStream in = null; InputStream err = null; int exitValue = -1; // returned to caller when p is finished try { in = process.getInputStream(); err = process.getErrorStream(); boolean finished = false; // Set to true when p is finished while (!finished) { try { while (in.available() > 0) { // Print the output of our system call Character c = new Character((char) in.read()); System.out.print(c); } while (err.available() > 0) { // Print the output of our system call Character c = new Character((char) err.read()); System.out.print(c); } // Ask the process for its exitValue. If the process // is not finished, an IllegalThreadStateException // is thrown. If it is finished, we fall through and // the variable finished is set to true. exitValue = process.exitValue(); finished = true; } catch (IllegalThreadStateException e) { // Process is not finished yet; // Sleep a little to save on CPU cycles Thread.currentThread().sleep(500); } } } catch (Exception e) { e.printStackTrace(); } finally { try { if (in != null) { in.close(); } } catch (IOException e) { e.printStackTrace(); } if (err != null) { try { err.close(); } catch (IOException e) { e.printStackTrace(); } } } return exitValue;}希望本文所述对大家Java程序设计的学习有所帮助。
