Class ThreadDeath
java.lang.Object
java.lang.Throwable
java.lang.Error
java.lang.ThreadDeath
- All Implemented Interfaces:
- Serializable
- public class ThreadDeath
- extends Error
An instance of ThreadDeath
is thrown in the victim
thread when the stop
method with zero arguments in
class Thread
is called.
An application should catch instances of this class only if it
must clean up after being terminated asynchronously. If
ThreadDeath
is caught by a method, it is important
that it be rethrown so that the thread actually dies.
The top-level error handler does not print out a message if
ThreadDeath
is never caught.
The class ThreadDeath
is specifically a subclass of
Error
rather than Exception
, even though
it is a "normal occurrence", because many applications
catch all occurrences of Exception
and then discard
the exception.
