public class java.lang.ThreadDeath extends java.lang.Error (§1.46) { public ThreadDeath(); §1.57.1 }An instance of
ThreadDeath
is thrown in the victim thread when the stop
method with
zero arguments (§1.19.37) 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 will actually die.
ThreadDeath
is never caught.
ThreadDeath
is specifically a subclass of Error
rather than Exception
, even
though it is a normally occurrence, becuase many applications catch all occurrences of
Exception
and then discard the exception.
