I have a Thread (let's say T1) which reads data from socket:
public void run() {
while (running) {
try {
BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader( new InputStreamReader(socket.getInputStream()) );
String input = reader.readLine();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
Another Thread (lets say T2) try to finish the program in one of its method. Therefore T2 does the following:
T1.running = false;
socket.close();
Here is this scenario for which i couldn't find a solution:
T1 is active and waiting for some input to read i.e. blocking.
context switching
T2 is active and sets running to false, closes the socket
context switching
because T1 was blocking and T2 closed the socket, T1 throws an Exception. What i want is to catch this SocketException. i can't put a try/catch(SocketException) in T1.run(). So how can i catch it in T1's running-method? If it's not possible to catch it in T1's running, then how can i catch it elsewhere?
PS: "Another question about the Thread Debugging"
Normally when i debug the code step by step, i lose the 'active running line' on a context switch. Let's say i'm in line 20 of T1, context switch happens, let's assume the program continues from the 30.line of T2, but the debugger does not go/show to the 30.line of T2, instead the 'active running line' vanishes. So i lose the control over the code. I use Eclipse for Java and Visual Studio for C#. So what is the best way to track the code while debugging on a context switch ?
