Class ErrorLoggingThreadFactory

java.lang.Object

no.rmz.blobee.threads.ErrorLoggingThreadFactory

All Implemented Interfaces:

ThreadFactory

public final class ErrorLoggingThreadFactory
extends Object
implements ThreadFactory

When using an executor service, it is by default difficult to know where threads originate, since the names are generic, and also when unchecked exceptions are thrown by the threads the default behavior is to ignore the exception completely. This factory adds a name and an uncaught exception handler that logs the exceptions to the log of your choice.
