java.lang
Class ThreadGroup

java.lang.Object
  extended by java.lang.ThreadGroup
All Implemented Interfaces:
Thread.UncaughtExceptionHandler

public class ThreadGroup
extends Object
implements Thread.UncaughtExceptionHandler

A thread group represents a set of threads. In addition, a thread group can also include other thread groups. The thread groups form a tree in which every thread group except the initial thread group has a parent.

A thread is allowed to access information about its own thread group, but not to access information about its thread group's parent thread group or any other thread groups.

Since:
JDK1.0

Constructor Detail

ThreadGroup

public ThreadGroup(String name)
Constructs a new thread group. The parent of this new group is the thread group of the currently running thread.

The checkAccess method of the parent thread group is called with no arguments; this may result in a security exception.

Parameters:
name - the name of the new thread group.
Throws:
SecurityException - if the current thread cannot create a thread in the specified thread group.
Since:
JDK1.0
See Also:
checkAccess()

ThreadGroup

public ThreadGroup(ThreadGroup parent,
                   String name)
Creates a new thread group. The parent of this new group is the specified thread group.

The checkAccess method of the parent thread group is called with no arguments; this may result in a security exception.

Parameters:
parent - the parent thread group.
name - the name of the new thread group.
Throws:
NullPointerException - if the thread group argument is null.
SecurityException - if the current thread cannot create a thread in the specified thread group.
Since:
JDK1.0
See Also:
SecurityException, checkAccess()
Method Detail

getName

public final String getName()
Returns the name of this thread group.

Returns:
the name of this thread group.
Since:
JDK1.0

getParent

public final ThreadGroup getParent()
Returns the parent of this thread group.

First, if the parent is not null, the checkAccess method of the parent thread group is called with no arguments; this may result in a security exception.

Returns:
the parent of this thread group. The top-level thread group is the only thread group whose parent is null.
Throws:
SecurityException - if the current thread cannot modify this thread group.
Since:
JDK1.0
See Also:
checkAccess(), SecurityException, RuntimePermission

getMaxPriority

public final int getMaxPriority()
Returns the maximum priority of this thread group. Threads that are part of this group cannot have a higher priority than the maximum priority.

Returns:
the maximum priority that a thread in this thread group can have.
Since:
JDK1.0
See Also:
setMaxPriority(int)

isDaemon

public final boolean isDaemon()
Tests if this thread group is a daemon thread group. A daemon thread group is automatically destroyed when its last thread is stopped or its last thread group is destroyed.

Returns:
true if this thread group is a daemon thread group; false otherwise.
Since:
JDK1.0

isDestroyed

public boolean isDestroyed()
Tests if this thread group has been destroyed.

Returns:
true if this object is destroyed
Since:
JDK1.1

setDaemon

public final void setDaemon(boolean daemon)
Changes the daemon status of this thread group.

First, the checkAccess method of this thread group is called with no arguments; this may result in a security exception.

A daemon thread group is automatically destroyed when its last thread is stopped or its last thread group is destroyed.

Parameters:
daemon - if true, marks this thread group as a daemon thread group; otherwise, marks this thread group as normal.
Throws:
SecurityException - if the current thread cannot modify this thread group.
Since:
JDK1.0
See Also:
SecurityException, checkAccess()

setMaxPriority

public final void setMaxPriority(int pri)
Sets the maximum priority of the group. Threads in the thread group that already have a higher priority are not affected.

First, the checkAccess method of this thread group is called with no arguments; this may result in a security exception.

If the pri argument is less than Thread.MIN_PRIORITY or greater than Thread.MAX_PRIORITY, the maximum priority of the group remains unchanged.

Otherwise, the priority of this ThreadGroup object is set to the smaller of the specified pri and the maximum permitted priority of the parent of this thread group. (If this thread group is the system thread group, which has no parent, then its maximum priority is simply set to pri.) Then this method is called recursively, with pri as its argument, for every thread group that belongs to this thread group.

Parameters:
pri - the new priority of the thread group.
Throws:
SecurityException - if the current thread cannot modify this thread group.
Since:
JDK1.0
See Also:
getMaxPriority(), SecurityException, checkAccess()

parentOf

public final boolean parentOf(ThreadGroup g)
Tests if this thread group is either the thread group argument or one of its ancestor thread groups.

Parameters:
g - a thread group.
Returns:
true if this thread group is the thread group argument or one of its ancestor thread groups; false otherwise.
Since:
JDK1.0

checkAccess

public final void checkAccess()
Determines if the currently running thread has permission to modify this thread group.

If there is a security manager, its checkAccess method is called with this thread group as its argument. This may result in throwing a SecurityException.

Throws:
SecurityException - if the current thread is not allowed to access this thread group.
Since:
JDK1.0
See Also:
SecurityManager.checkAccess(java.lang.ThreadGroup)

activeCount

public int activeCount()
Returns an estimate of the number of active threads in this thread group. The result might not reflect concurrent activity, and might be affected by the presence of certain system threads.

Due to the inherently imprecise nature of the result, it is recommended that this method only be used for informational purposes.

Returns:
an estimate of the number of active threads in this thread group and in any other thread group that has this thread group as an ancestor.
Since:
JDK1.0

enumerate

public int enumerate(Thread[] list)
Copies into the specified array every active thread in this thread group and its subgroups.

First, the checkAccess method of this thread group is called with no arguments; this may result in a security exception.

An application might use the activeCount method to get an estimate of how big the array should be, however if the array is too short to hold all the threads, the extra threads are silently ignored. If it is critical to obtain every active thread in this thread group and its subgroups, the caller should verify that the returned int value is strictly less than the length of list.

Due to the inherent race condition in this method, it is recommended that the method only be used for informational purposes.

Parameters:
list - an array into which to place the list of threads.
Returns:
the number of threads put into the array.
Throws:
SecurityException - if the current thread does not have permission to enumerate this thread group.
Since:
JDK1.0
See Also:
activeCount(), checkAccess()

enumerate

uncaughtException

public void uncaughtException(Thread t,
                              Throwable e)
Called by the Java Virtual Machine when a thread in this thread group stops because of an uncaught exception, and the thread does not have a specific Thread.UncaughtExceptionHandler installed.

The uncaughtException method of ThreadGroup does the following:

  • If this thread group has a parent thread group, the uncaughtException method of that parent is called with the same two arguments.
  • Otherwise, this method checks to see if there is a default uncaught exception handler installed, and if so, its uncaughtException method is called with the same two arguments.
  • Otherwise, this method determines if the Throwable argument is an instance of ThreadDeath. If so, nothing special is done. Otherwise, a message containing the thread's name, as returned from the thread's getName method, and a stack backtrace, using the Throwable's printStackTrace method, is printed to the standard error stream.

Applications can override this method in subclasses of ThreadGroup to provide alternative handling of uncaught exceptions.

Specified by:
uncaughtException in interface Thread.UncaughtExceptionHandler
Parameters:
t - the thread that is about to exit.
e - the uncaught exception.
Since:
JDK1.0
