【编者按】本文作者为拥有15年 Java 开发经验的资深程序员 Per-Åke Minborg,主要介绍如何灵活地解析 Java 中的方法引用。文章系国内 ITOM 管理平台 OneAPM 编译呈现。
方法引用
众所周知,在Java 8中我们可以使用方法引用。譬如,在我们需要遍历流元素时,可以使用 String::isEmpty
来引用isEmpty
方法。试看下面这段代码:
Stream.of("A", "", "B").filter(Stream::isEmpty).count();
运行的结果为1(因为在这个流中只有一个空元素)。但是,如果我们要过滤出非空字符串,我们得写成.filter(s -> !s.isEmpty())
。这是一个Lambda表达式。显然,这儿有个讨厌的不对称想象。我们可以使用方法引用,但却不能用它的反式。我们可以写predicate.negate()
却不能写Stream::isEmpty.negate()
或!Stream::isEmpty
。
为什么呢?这是因为方法引用并非Lambda表达式或者函数接口。不过,使用Java的类型推导可以将方法引用解析为一个或多个函数接口。上例中的String::isEmpty
至少可以解析为:
Predicate<String>
Function<String, Boolean>
所以,我们要排除其他可能性,确定到底将方法引用转换为哪个函数接口。本文在一定程度上解决了该问题。文中的代码来自开源项目Speedment,它让数据库看起来像Java 8的流。
解析方法引用
其实,以静态方法为“管道”,可以部分地解决这个问题——该静态方法以一个方法引用为输入,以特定的函数接口为其返回。试考虑下面这个简短的静态方法:
public static <T> Predicate<T> as(Predicate<T> predicate) {
return predicate;
}
现在,如果静态地导入这个方法,事实上,我们就能更简单地使用方法引用。如下例所示:
Stream.of("A", "", "B").filter(as(String::isEmpty).negate()).count();
这段代码返回的结果为2,即流中非空元素的数量。有关方法引用的使用方式,我们又向前迈进了一步。另一个好处是,这个解决方案让我们更轻松地编写predicates接口,例如:
.filter(as(String::isEmpty).negate().and("A"::equals))
解析所有方法引用
但是,现在仍有一个问题亟待解决。我们不能随随便便地创建一大堆静态as()
函数,因为一个方法引用可能解析为多种as()
方法,正如本文开头提到的那样。所以,一个更妙的解决方案,是把函数接口类型名添加至每个静态方法,这样我们就可以程序化地为每个函数接口转换方法选择一个特定的方法引用。我们有一个工具类,可以让每个方法引用都转换为Java标准包 `java.util.function中任意匹配的函数接口。

private FunctionCastUtil() {

}
在静态导入了相关方法之后,我们就可以这样写:
Stream.of("A", "", "B").filter(asPredicate(String::isEmpty).negate()).count();
一个更好的解决方案
如果函数接口本身就包含一个接收方法引用并将其转换为某类函数接口的静态方法,那就更好了。举例来说,标准的Java Predicated
函数接口就会变成这样:
@FunctionalInterface
public interface Predicate<T> {
boolean test(T t);
default Predicate<T> and(Predicate<? super T> other) {...}
default Predicate<T> negate() {...}
default Predicate<T> or(Predicate<? super T> other) {...}
static <T> Predicate<T> isEqual(Object targetRef) {...}
// New proposed support method to return a
// Predicate view of a Functional Reference
public static <T> Predicate<T> of(Predicate<T> predicate) {
return predicate;
}
}
因此,我们可以这样写:
Stream.of("A", "", "B").filter(Predicate.of(String::isEmpty).negate()).count();
笔者觉得这样看起来好极了!
