The Class Extensions.InterruptibleThread - The Interface java.lang.Runnable - Multithreaded Programming with JAVA

Comment:

Deprecated in Java 1.1. See ThreadGroup.allThreadsCount().

enumerate

public static final int enumerate(Thread tarray[])

This fills tarray with as many currently active threads as fit, returning that number.

getName setName

public String getName()

public void setName(String name)

throws SecurityException

This gets/sets the print name for the thread.

The Class Extensions.InterruptibleThread

This is one of the classes that we defined for this topic to provide a consistent interface for dealing

with certain problems.

exit

public void exit()

This causes the current thread to exit. It is syntactic sugar for

Thread.currentThread().stop().

Reference: Chapter 4.

Comment: We wrote this method while trying to deal with the absence of such a

function and the absence of any advice on this apparent oversight. We have

subsequently been convinced that this is the wrong way to do things and that

you should always return from the run() method (see Exiting a Thread).

The Interface java.lang.Runnable

This interface provides the building blocks for threads. You implement this interface, define a

run() method on the class, and pass an instance of it to the thread.

run

public void run()

This is the method you define that actually executes the code you want.

This is the only way to start anything.
