Method Detail

run

public void run()

run in interface java.lang.Runnable

Overrides:

run in class java.lang.Thread

innerRun

protected void innerRun()

Calls the run() method of the innerRunnable passed to the constructor, if innerRunnable is non-null; otherwise does nothing. An alternative to supplying an innerRunnable is to redefine this method in a subclass.

handleException

protected void handleException(java.lang.Throwable except)

Called by run() if innerRun() throws an exception. The method supplied by the CatchingThread class calls Debug.displayException(Throwable).
