Re: Adding a timeout to commands by wrapping + thread - suggestions?

Follow-up:

By changing the execute method like so:

    public void execute() {
        Thread cmdThread = new Thread(new
CommandRunnable(wrappedCmd));
        Thread.currentThread().setUncaughtExceptionHandler(new
OverrideThreadGroup());
        cmdThread.start();
        try {
            cmdThread.join(timeoutL);
        } catch (InterruptedException e) {
            throw new RuntimeException(
            "I was interrupted while waiting for encapsulated command
to "
            + "join or timeout to expire");
        }
        if (cmdThread.isAlive()) {
            onTimeoutCmd.execute();
        }
        try {
            cmdThread.join();
        } catch (InterruptedException e) {
            throw new RuntimeException(
                "I was interrupted while waiting for encapsulated
command to join");
        }
    }

...I now get the re-.thrown exception, BUT not instantly. The output
is:

Throwing now
Exception in thread "Thread-0" java.lang.RuntimeException: I threw in
the towel
        at dk.kb.doms.experimental.ThrowingCmd.execute(ThrowingCmd.java:7)
        at dk.kb.doms.experimental.CommandRunnable.run(CommandRunnable.java:
17)
        at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:613)
Command was executed just fine

I.e. the exception is thrown, but stil not in the main thread.

I guess if all I want is a log message when a command has executed
past the timout I should use a TimerTask instead?
