as for the debugging. i have a thread that simply hangs when the connection is broken. because it doesn't pick itself back up when reconnected, i've created an external mechanism interrupting the thread and then creating a new one.
now when it reconnects, it logs off, opens a new thread, and then somehow manages to open another new thread, and i don't know where that one comes from. it's given me a huge headache, and it bothers me that the instruction interrupt() doesn't do a damn thing.
when i accidentally disconnected the thread twice during testing, it resulted in SIX new threads, instead of the expected 4.
frikkin' java. i need a drink.
at this point, i'm not averse to giving baby cthulu a hug. are we talking about plush-toy baby cthulu, or slick and slimy? i don't actually mind either way, just curious is all.
ReplyDeleteand i'm extremely glad that until sunday, i don't have to think about threads more complicated than those i plan on wearing.
