stoping thread

Posted by siva on March 02, 2001 at 11:16 PM

stopping thread is like throwing exception(Error).
if a thread is stopped when it is in synchronized block
it will simply throw ThreadDeathException and get terminated without notifing other threads which are waiting on that object.To avoid this try to catch that exception and call
notifyAll() and rethrow that exception.
