Bill van Melle commented on PIVOT-769:
--------------------------------------
Although this was the logical change to make, I hope that somebody is recording
this somewhere as a prominent backward-incompatible change in the next release.
Anybody who has written an executeFailed method and done something as
innocuous as saying
Exception fault = task.getFault();
will have to edit their code for it to run under 2.0.1 (as I have had to do
just now when I updated to the latest trunk).
> A Task's TaskListener will not be called if a Throwable is thown when the
> task is executed

> Key: PIVOT-769
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIVOT-769
> Project: Pivot
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: core-util
> Affects Versions: 2.0
> Reporter: Chris Bartlett
> Assignee: Chris Bartlett
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 2.0.1
>
>
> org.apache.pivot.util.concurrent.Task.ExecuteCallback.run() only catches and
> records Exceptions as 'faults'.
> try {
> result = execute();
> } catch(Exception exception) {
> fault = exception;
> }
> If a java.lang.Error or other non-Exception Throwable is thrown while the
> task is executing, the thread will be killed off and neither of the
> TaskListener callback methods will be executed.
> Also, nothing will be logged to syserr, sysout or elsewhere meaning the
> Throwable is 'swallowed' without any notification.
