The offending lines are these: } catch (Exception e) { e.printStackTrace(); throw new IllegalActionException(e.getMessage()); } The issue is that in PN, the fire() method is invoked in an infinite loop in its own

It might be best to re-throw the exception in case the method is expanded on. That is: } catch (Exception e) { if (!(e instanceof TerminateProcessExeption)) { e.printStackTrace(); throw new IllegalActionException(this, e, e.getMessage()); } else throw e; } Colin

Ah, right. Actually, if you don't rethrow the exception, the thread won't terminate... Edward On 6/22/11 7:02 AM, Colin Enticott wrote: It might be best to re-throw the exception in case the method is expanded on. That is: } catch (Exception e) { if (!(e instanceof

Now it works! I actually implemented it like this: } catch (TerminateProcessException e) { throw e; } catch (Exception e) { throw new IllegalActionException(this, e, e.getMessage()); } Indeed,

Hi Vincenzo, Without sample code, it is hard to say for sure, but I believe you need to check the for the token in fire() if (input.hasToken(0)) { } Page 194 of the Designing Actors chapter in Volume 1 of the Design Doc at http://ptolemy.eecs.berkeley.edu/ptolemyII/designdoc.htm says: * A

Something's fishy here. Such a model should work fine in PN. Note that hasToken() _alaways_ returns true in PN. The get() method blocks when there is no input. Looks like something is terminating the threads using a TerminateProcessException. How is your model supposed to be stopped? Edward

2011-06-21 Thread Edward A. Lee
PN wraps every actor in an infinite loop that executes in it's own thread. I think what is happening is that the director is detecting that no tokens are available and is killing blocked threads to stop the execution. This would be normal, I think. How else would you stop a blocked thread? The
