Class ThreadStateValidator

java.lang.Object

com.sun.corba.ee.spi.threadpool.ThreadStateValidator

public class ThreadStateValidator
extends Object

Interface to support thread state validation. The basic idea is that one or more validators can be registered with an implementation of the TSV. The validators are executed whenever a thread is returned to the threadpool, For example, a validator may check for unreleased locks or uncleared threadlocals. This is intended as a last-ditch backstop for leaking resource problems.

Method Detail

registerValidator

public static void registerValidator(Runnable validator)

Register a thread validator (represented as a Runnable). A validator may check for locks that should not be held, check for threadlocals that should be cleared, or take any other action to check for resources that should not be held once the thread is no longer needed, as signaled by the thread being returned to the threadpool.

A validator typically may take the following actions:

1. Check whether or not a resource has been released.
2. Log any detected problems.
3. Reclaim the resource.

A validator should NOT throw an exception, as all exceptions thrown from a validator will be ignored.

Parameters:

validator -

checkValidators

public static void checkValidators()
