- All Implemented Interfaces:
Serializable
public class ThreadDeath extends Error
An instance of
ThreadDeath
is thrown in the victim thread
when the (deprecated) Thread.stop()
method is invoked.
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.
