hi,
I had a while loop in a run method, and in the while loop were a series of if stements. the series of if statments were in a try. my hope was if any if statement conked out it would catch the error, and continue the while loop ( the catch is in the while loop) and if there is more data it would try fresh and maybe that if statements routine if() { routine} wouldnt throw an exception. but what happens is if i do something wrong the whole run method stops doing anything. i was looking up an array at array[-1] by mistake in some cases. here is the code.
public void run()
{
int a=1;
while(a==1)
{
try{
newBoardData temp = new newBoardData();
temp=gamequeue.poll();
if(temp != null)
{
// other if statements looking at temp.dg ==
if(temp.dg == 13 || temp.dg == 16 || temp.dg == 19)// 13 16 19result
{
//writeToConsole("in dg 13 16 19 result");
int gamenum=getGameBoard(temp.arg1);
// this line was my error. if gamenum == -1 dont want to do myboards[gamenum]!=null, should be next line if statmeent to check that if we know its not -1
if(gamenum==-1 || myboards[gamenum]== null)
return;
myboards[gamenum].gameEnded(temp.arg1); // pass game number
updateGameTabs("W", gamenum);
repaintBoards(gamenum);
}
}
else
{
try {
Thread.sleep(3);
}
catch(Exception e)
{}
}// end no data
}// end try
catch(Exception e)
{}
} // end while
}// end run
