Example: Getting DefaultUncaughtExceptionHandler for a ThreadThe following example shows the usage of Java Thread getDefaultUncaughtExceptionHandler() method. In this program, we've created a thread class AdminThread by implementing Runnable interface. In run method, we're throwing a RuntimeException. In main method, we've created a new thread of AdminThread class and using setDefaultUncaughtExceptionHandler() method, we've set a uncaught exception handler which prints the exception raised. Now using getDefaultUncaughtExceptionHandler(), the exception handler is retrieved and printed.
Using start() method, we've started the thread and result is printed on the console.
package com.tutorialspoint; public class ThreadDemo { public static void main(String[] args) { Thread t = new Thread(new AdminThread()); t.setDefaultUncaughtExceptionHandler(new Thread.UncaughtExceptionHandler() { public void uncaughtException(Thread t, Throwable e) { System.out.println(t + " throws exception: " + e); } }); // this will call run() function t.start(); /* returns the handler invoked when this thread abruptly terminates due to an uncaught exception. */ Thread.UncaughtExceptionHandler handler = t.getDefaultUncaughtExceptionHandler(); System.out.println(handler); } } class AdminThread implements Runnable { public void run() { throw new RuntimeException(); } }Output
Let us compile and run the above program, this will produce the following result −
com.tutorialspoint.ThreadDemo$1@28a418fc Thread[#21,Thread-0,5,main] throws exception: java.lang.RuntimeException
