Finding out which thread has interrupted

[Manish Jethani]

Thread th = Thread.currentThread();

try {
th.sleep(10000);

} catch (InterruptedException e) {
/* I want to know *which* thread interrupted this one. */
}

How can I achieve this?

Tnx.

th.sleep(10000);

I think it's pretty much impossible directly. The only way is to have a
"setInterruptingThread(Thread t)" method in your thread, and then call
it from the same thread that interrupts it.

Create a reference somewhere which the interrupting thread assigns to
itself immediately before requesting the interrupt. Make sure you cater
for when two threads attempt to interrupt the same sleeping thread at
the same time. Either queue them, or discard all attempts after the
initial one, depending upon your needs.
