ThreadDeath should not be ignored
---------------------------------
Key: SCXML-103
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SCXML-103
Project: Commons SCXML
Issue Type: Bug
Reporter: Sebb
Priority: Minor
There are a few instances where the code catches Throwable, but fails to
rethrow anything.
For example:
{code}
org.apache.commons.scxml.io.SCXMLSerializer.getTransformer()
...
} catch (Throwable t) {
return null;
}
{code}
It would be safer if the code only caught the relevant Exception(s) (and
perhaps some Errors).
For example does it really make sense to catch OutOfMemory ?
In particular, the Javadoc for ThreadDeath says:
{quote} If ThreadDeath is caught by a method, it is important that it be
rethrown so that the thread actually dies.
