Dealing with exceptions when using ScheduledThreadPoolExecutor

[AndyColeman]

Hi,

I am using ScheduledThreadPoolExecutor in my code but I have found that
if the Runnable task I supplied throws an exception then this thread
created by the Executor dies. I am sure I have read that the Executor
recreates the thread if it dies due to an exception but I can't find
any reference to that right now.

Is there a pattern I can use for dealing with this case?

Thanks
Andy

You may be looking for the documentation about the meaning of the core pool
size, see the JavaDoc for the superclass,
java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor, and in particular the section headed
"Core and maximum pool sizes".

(According to the documentation for ScheduledThreadPoolExecutor, you can ignore
the stuff about maximum pool size.)
