InterruptedException

This exception is thrown when a thread is in sleep mode and interrupted by another thread. Lets understand this by an example:

create a java file Interrupt.java in dev21century.threading package:

package dev21century.threading;

class Thread1 extends Thread

{

     Thread1(String s)

     {

           super(s);

     }

     public void run()

     {

           System.out.println("Thread Name: " + getName());

           try{

                Thread.sleep(60000 * 10);

           }catch(Exception e)

           {}

           System.out.println("interrupted from class");

           System.out.println("Thread " + getName() + " dead..");

     }

}

class Thread2 extends Thread

{

     Thread1 thread1;

     Thread2(String s, Thread1 thread1)

     {

           super(s);

           this.thread1 = thread1;

     }

     public void run()

     {

           System.out.println("Thread Name  : " + getName());

           thread1.interrupt();

           try{

                Thread.sleep(1000);

           }catch(Exception e) {}

          

           System.out.println("Thread   : " + getName() + " dead.");

     }

}

public class Interrupt {

     public static void main(String args[])

     {

           Thread1 thread1 = new Thread1("thread1");

           thread1.setPriority(10);

           Thread2 thread2 = new Thread2("thread1", thread1);

           thread1.start();

           thread2.start();

          

          

     }

}
