InterruptedException

[pramod karnani]

Hi All,

when InterruptedException is being catch in lock method since wait throws InterruptedException then can I wrap InterruptedException within a subclass of RuntimeException ?

let say subclass is UserInterruptedException that extends RuntimeException

Hi pramod,

I posted a question about how to handle the InterruptedException (more than a month ago) and got no replies at all. The thread can be found here and has a link to a website with an article about "how to handle InterruptedException?", so it's maybe valuable to you

Kind regards,
Roel

I did not read that article before submitting my assignment, so I just swallowed the exception and continued to wait. However, I don't think I'd have changed my approach. But I had a TimeoutException, which means anyway, after 5 seconds, the thread exits. So swallowing is just a delay, there's no possibility that my thread remains stuck, waiting forever.

This is my "InterruptedException code":

                } catch (InterruptedException ie) {
                    // continue to wait until the time runs out.
                    continue;
                }
