Class InterruptedException

All Implemented Interfaces:

    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();

  JDK1.0
