How to catch exception thrown by another thread in Java?

exception, java, multithreading

Solution

If you can not catch it maybe that helps you:

If you have the `Thread` object you can try to set a UncaughtExceptionHandler. Take a look at Thread.setUncaughtExceptionHandler(...).

Give us some more detail about the library you use and how you use it.

Problem

I'm using a library that creates its own thread and it throws an exception. How can I catch that exception? The exception is thrown on the line marked below: ``` ResourceDescriptor rd = new ResourceDescriptor(); rd.setWsType(ResourceDescriptor.TYPE_FOLDER); fullUri += "/" + token; System.out.println(fullUri); // >>> EXCEPTION THROWN ON THE FOLLOWING LINE <<< rd.setUriString(fullUri.replaceAll("_", "")); try{ rd = server.getWSClient().get(rd, null); }catch(Exception e){ if(e.getMessage().contains("resource was not found")){ this.addFolder(fullUri, label, false); System.out.println("Folder does not exist, will be added now."); }else{ System.out.println("Error Messages: " + e.getMessage()); } } ```
