Task-specific recovery or clean-up actions can be performed by overriding the {{afterExecute()}} hook of the {{java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor}} class. This hook is called either when a task concludes successfully by executing all statements in its {{run()}} method or when the task halts because of an exception. (Some implementations may fail to catch {{java.lang.Error}}. (See [Bug ID 6450211|http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6450211] for more information \[[SDN 2008|AA. Bibliography#SDN 08]\].). When using this approach, substitute the executor service with a custom {{ThreadPoolExecutor}} that overrides the {{afterExecute()}} hook as shown below: |

final class PoolService { // The values have been hard-coded for brevity ExecutorService pool = new CustomThreadPoolExecutor( 10, 10, 10, TimeUnit.SECONDS, new ArrayBlockingQueue<Runnable>(10)); // ... } class CustomThreadPoolExecutor extends ThreadPoolExecutor { // ... Constructor ... public CustomThreadPoolExecutor( int corePoolSize, int maximumPoolSize, long keepAliveTime, TimeUnit unit, BlockingQueue<Runnable> workQueue) { super(corePoolSize, maximumPoolSize, keepAliveTime, unit, workQueue); } @Override public void afterExecute(Runnable r, Throwable t) { super.afterExecute(r, t); if (t != null) { // Exception occurred, forward to handler } // ... Perform task-specific clean-up actions } @Override public void terminated() { super.terminated(); // ... Perform final clean-up actions } } |

The {{ExecutorService.submit()}} method can be used (in place of the {{execute()}} method) to submit a task to a thread pool and obtain a {{Future}} object. When the task is submitted via {{ExecutorService.submit()}}, thrown exceptions will never reach the uncaught exception handler, because the thrown exception is considered to be part of the return status and is consequently wrapped in an {{ExecutionException}} and re-thrownrethrown by {{Future.get()}} \[[Goetz 2006|AA. Bibliography#Goetz 06]\]. |
...
This compliant solution invokes the ExecutorService.submit()
method to submit the task so that a Future
object can be obtained. It uses the Future
object to let the task re-throw rethrow the exception so that it can be handled locally.
...
Failure to provide a mechanism for reporting that tasks in a thread pool failed as a result of an exceptional condition can make it harder or impossible to find the source of the issue.
