This morning, I was looking at the documentation on Thread objects in:
http://java.sun.com/JDK-beta2/api/java.lang.Thread.html#_top_
It seems that this documentation described a postException method that
would allow me to send an exception to another thread. However, my
attempts to use this method were all defeated by javac, which insisted that
no such method existed. This evening, when I returned to this web page of
documentation, I can no longer find the method.
Was it an error for this to have been documented? (Perhaps this was an
artifact left over from the alpha release, which is no longer supported?)
Is the ability to throw an exception from one thread to another supported
anywhere else? (Certainly, this defeats the idea that one can determine
through declarations which exceptions might be thrown by particular
methods.)
Thanks
(By the way, it seems we used to be able to search the documentation for
keywords, but that facility also seems to have disappeared recently ... or
am I just losing track of my bookmarks?)
