How do I check whether a thread group has been destroyed?

By Wayan in Core API, Lang Package 0 Comment

You can use ThreadGroup.isDestroyed() method to check whether a thread group and its subgroups has been destroyed.

package org.kodejava.lang;

public class CheckGroupDestroy {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        ThreadGroup grandParent = new ThreadGroup("GrandParent");
        ThreadGroup uncle = new ThreadGroup(grandParent, "Uncle");
        ThreadGroup parent = new ThreadGroup(grandParent, "Parent");
        ThreadGroup son = new ThreadGroup(parent, "Son");
        ThreadGroup daughter = new ThreadGroup(parent, "Daughter");
        ThreadGroup neighbour = new ThreadGroup("Neighbour");

        ThreadGroup[] groupArray = {
                grandParent, uncle, parent, son, daughter, neighbour
        };

        // Destroy 'parent' group and all its subgroups
        parent.destroy();

        // Check whether the group is destroyed. The result is,
        // GrandParent, Uncle, and Neighbour did not destroyed
        // because they are not Parent's subgroups
        for (ThreadGroup tg : groupArray) {
            if (tg.isDestroyed()) {
                System.out.println(tg.getName() + " is destroyed");
            } else {
                System.out.println(tg.getName() + " is not destroyed");
            }
        }
    }
}

The result is:

GrandParent is not destroyed
Uncle is not destroyed
Parent is destroyed
Son is destroyed
Daughter is destroyed
Neighbour is not destroyed

How do I destroy a thread group?

By Wayan in Core API, Lang Package 0 Comment

You can destroy a thread group by using destroy() method of ThreadGroup class. It will cleans up the thread group and removes it from the thread group hierarchy. It’s not only destroy the thread group, but also all its subgroups.

The destroy() method is of limited use: it can only be called if there are no threads presently in the thread group.

package org.kodejava.lang;

public class ThreadGroupDestroy {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        ThreadGroup root = new ThreadGroup("Root");
        ThreadGroup server = new ThreadGroup(root, "ServerGroup");
        ThreadGroup client = new ThreadGroup(root, "ClientGroup");

        // Destroy 'root' thread groups and all its subgroup
        // ('server' & 'client')
        root.destroy();

        // Check if 'root' group and its subgroups already destroyed
        if (root.isDestroyed()) {
            System.out.println("Root group is destroyed");
        }

        if (server.isDestroyed()) {
            System.out.println("Server group is destroyed");
        }

        if (client.isDestroyed()) {
            System.out.println("Client group is destroyed");
        }
    }
}

How do I use multi-catch statement?

By Wayan in Core API, Lang Package 1 Comment

The multi-catch is a language enhancement feature introduces in the Java 7. This allows us to use a single catch block to handle multiple exceptions. Each exception is separated by the pipe symbol (|).

Using the multi-catch simplify our exception handling and also reduce code duplicates in the catch block. Let’s see an example below:

package org.kodejava.lang;

import java.io.IOException;
import java.sql.SQLException;

public class MultiCatchDemo {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        MultiCatchDemo demo = new MultiCatchDemo();
        try {
            demo.callA();
            demo.callB();
            demo.callC();
        } catch (IOException | SQLException | ClassNotFoundException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }

    private void callA() throws IOException {
        throw new IOException("IOException");
    }

    private void callB() throws SQLException {
        throw new SQLException("SQLException");
    }

    private void callC() throws ClassNotFoundException {
        throw new ClassNotFoundException("ClassNotFoundException");
    }
}

How do I count active thread in a thread group?

By Wayan in Core API, Lang Package 0 Comment

This example describe how to get 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.

package org.kodejava.lang;

public class ThreadGroupActiveThread {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        ThreadGroup threadGroup = new ThreadGroup("TestThread");

        Thread t1 = new Thread(threadGroup, new Server(), "Server1");
        Thread t2 = new Thread(threadGroup, new Server(), "Server2");
        Thread t3 = new Thread(threadGroup, new Server(), "Server3");
        Thread t4 = new Thread(threadGroup, new Server(), "Server4");

        t1.start();
        t2.start();
        t3.start();
        t4.start();

        // Get an estimate number of active thread of the thread
        // group.
        int activeThread = threadGroup.activeCount();
        System.out.format("Number of active threads of %s is %d %n",
                threadGroup.getName(), activeThread);
    }
}

class Server implements Runnable {
    public void run() {
        System.out.println("Running..");
    }
}

How do I get number of active thread in current thread?

By Wayan in Core API, Lang Package 0 Comment

In this example you’ll see how to obtain the number of active thread in the current thread. You can use the Thread.activeCount() method to get this information.

package org.kodejava.lang;

public class CountActiveThread {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Thread t = new Thread(() -> System.out.println("Hello..."));
        t.start();

        // Get the number of active threads in the current thread's
        // thread group.
        int activeThread = Thread.activeCount();
        System.out.format("Number of active threads of %s is %d %n",
                Thread.currentThread().getName(), activeThread);
    }
}
