InterruptedException (Java Platform SE 7 ) (original) (raw)


public class InterruptedException
extends Exception
Thrown when a thread is waiting, sleeping, or otherwise occupied, and the thread is interrupted, either before or during the activity. Occasionally a method may wish to test whether the current thread has been interrupted, and if so, to immediately throw this exception. The following code can be used to achieve this effect:
if (Thread.interrupted()) // Clears interrupted status!
throw new InterruptedException();

Since:
JDK1.0
