Influence range after System class redirects output stream

problem 1. If the System class is used to redirect the output stream, will it affect the output of other threads? 2. What scope will this operation affect? conclusion 1. No matter which thread redirects the output stream, all threads will be affected. 2. After redirecting the output stream with System, the scope of influence is the current JVM process. Experiment 1: will it affect the output of other threads

Experiment 1: design ideas

Create two threads. After thread 1 redirects the standard output stream, thread 2 starts to print output and view the output location. To determine if thread 2 is affected. The code is as follows:

public static void main( String[] args ){ new Thread(new Runnable() { @Override public void run() { System.out.println("Thread 1 starts redirecting output stream"); try { // Thread 1 redirects the standard output stream to a file, and the printout will be output to the file later System.setOut(new PrintStream(new FileOutputStream(new File("E:\\ouputfile.txt")))); System.out.println("Finished redirecting output stream for thread 1"); } catch (FileNotFoundException e) { e.printStackTrace(); } } }).start(); new Thread(new Runnable() { @Override public void run() { try { // Thread 2 sleeps for 3s and waits for redirection to complete before printing output Thread.sleep(3000); System.out.println("Thread 2 output position determination??"); } catch (InterruptedException e) { e.printStackTrace(); } } }).start(); }

Experiment 1: output results

The output of the console is: only print the text before thread 1 starts redirection

Reset output to back file:

You can see that the printout of thread 2 is also affected.

Experiment 1: conclusion

1. No matter which thread redirects the output stream, all threads will be affected. 2. Guess that the redirection input stream is the same. Experiment 2: influence range of redirection operation

Experiment 2: design ideas

Start two JVM processes. The JVM process 1 redirects and process 2 prints normally. Check the print location of process 2 to determine whether process 2 is affected.

The process 1 code is as follows

public static void main( String[] args ){ System.out.println("Process 1 starts redirecting output stream"); try { System.setOut(new PrintStream(new FileOutputStream(new File("E:\\ouputfile.txt")))); System.out.println("Finished redirecting output stream for process 1"); } catch (FileNotFoundException e) { e.printStackTrace(); } String name = ManagementFactory.getRuntimeMXBean().getName(); String pid = name.split("@")[0]; System.out.println("Process number" + pid); // Dead cycle while (true) { } }

The code of process 2 is as follows. This process will run after process 1 redirection

public static void main(String[] args) { String name = ManagementFactory.getRuntimeMXBean().getName(); String pid = name.split("@")[0]; System.out.println("Process number:" + pid + "See where this text goes"); while (true) { } }

Experiment 2: output results

Process 1 console output

Process 2 console output

Process 1 reset backward output file

Obtain two process numbers, process number 1:3428 and process number 2:6072. Find the corresponding process.

Experiment 2: conclusion

1. The redirection operation is only valid in the process of redirection operation and will not affect other processes. 2. Guess that the redirection input stream is the same. summary 1. No matter which thread redirects the output stream, all threads will be affected. 2. After redirecting the output stream with System, the scope of influence is the current JVM process, and other JVM processes will not be affected.
