java.lang.Object | +--java.lang.ThreadGroup
A thread group represents a set of threads. In addition, a thread group can also include other thread groups. The thread groups form a tree in which every thread group except the initial thread group has a parent.
A thread is allowed to access information about its own thread group, but not to access information about its thread group's parent thread group or any other thread groups.
Constructor Summary | |
ThreadGroup(String name)
Constructs a new thread group. |
|
ThreadGroup(ThreadGroup parent,

Creates a new thread group. |

Returns an estimate of the number of active threads in this thread group. |
int |
activeGroupCount()
Returns an estimate of the number of active groups in this thread group. |

Sets the maximum priority of the group. |
void |

Constructor Detail |
public ThreadGroup(String name)
The checkAccess
method of the parent thread group is
called with no arguments; this may result in a security exception.
name
- the name of the new thread group.
SecurityException
- if the current thread cannot create a
thread in the specified thread group.checkAccess()
public ThreadGroup(ThreadGroup parent, String name)
The checkAccess
method of the parent thread group is
called with no arguments; this may result in a security exception.
parent
- the parent thread group.name
- the name of the new thread group.
NullPointerException
- if the thread group argument is
null
.
SecurityException
- if the current thread cannot create a
thread in the specified thread group.SecurityException
,

Method Detail |
public final String getName()
public final ThreadGroup getParent()
First, if the parent is not null
, the
checkAccess
method of the parent thread group is
called with no arguments; this may result in a security exception.

SecurityException
- if the current thread cannot modify
this thread group.checkAccess()
,
SecurityException

RuntimePermission
public final int getMaxPriority()
setMaxPriority(int)
public final boolean isDaemon()
true
if this thread group is a daemon thread group;
false
otherwise.public boolean isDestroyed()
public final void setDaemon(boolean daemon)
First, the checkAccess
method of this thread group is
called with no arguments; this may result in a security exception.
A daemon thread group is automatically destroyed when its last thread is stopped or its last thread group is destroyed.
daemon
- if true
, marks this thread group as
a daemon thread group; otherwise, marks this
thread group as normal.
SecurityException
- if the current thread cannot modify
this thread group.SecurityException
,
checkAccess()
public final void setMaxPriority(int pri)
First, the checkAccess
method of this thread group is
called with no arguments; this may result in a security exception.
If the pri
argument is less than
Thread.MIN_PRIORITY
or greater than
Thread.MAX_PRIORITY
, the maximum priority of the group
remains unchanged.
Otherwise, the priority of this ThreadGroup object is set to the
smaller of the specified pri
and the maximum permitted
priority of the parent of this thread group. (If this thread group
is the system thread group, which has no parent, then its maximum
priority is simply set to pri
.) Then this method is
called recursively, with pri
as its argument, for
every thread group that belongs to this thread group.
pri
- the new priority of the thread group.
SecurityException
- if the current thread cannot modify
this thread group.getMaxPriority()
,
SecurityException
,
checkAccess()
public final boolean parentOf(ThreadGroup g)
g
- a thread group.
true
if this thread group is the thread group
argument or one of its ancestor thread groups;
false
otherwise.public final void checkAccess()
If there is a security manager, its checkAccess
method
is called with this thread group as its argument. This may result
in throwing a SecurityException
.
SecurityException
- if the current thread is not allowed to
access this thread group.SecurityManager.checkAccess(java.lang.ThreadGroup)
public int activeCount()
public int enumerate(Thread[] list)
First, the checkAccess
method of this thread group is
called with no arguments; this may result in a security exception.
An application should use the activeCount
method to
get an estimate of how big the array should be. If the array is
too short to hold all the threads, the extra threads are silently
ignored.

,
checkAccess()
public final void stop()
Thread.stop()
for details.
First, the checkAccess
method of this thread group is
called with no arguments; this may result in a security exception.
This method then calls the stop

does the following:
uncaughtException
method of that parent is called
with the same two arguments.
Throwable
argument is an instance of ThreadDeath
