How to stop thread from being jumping off the code without executing it.....

[chiragkini]

Hi friends,
This is chirag kini, I am working on Live project of Online Lottery System. (Client - Server architecture). My problem is, whenever i try to call a methods from running thread, says:

function1();
function2(); (in my run() method)

sometimes it executes both functions perfectly, and sometimes it simply skips off function2();
Even sometimes function2() gets called, it doesnot repaint the Application with the changes done in function2().
Which results in instability in application in client side.

I am talking about the client side threads.....


SO please guys, if anyone knows how to tackle this..... pleaaaaaaaaaaaaase
help me out...

waiting for all....

Thanks in Advance.....

in thread , nothing is guaranteed.......
try using synchronized methods...
instead of thread its will be best if u maintain session if its a web application.

My application is client server architecture where my client is swing application. In my application i need to execute some threads which are requesting the server database for any changes in table values........

Swing threading and the event-dispatch thread...?

Sounds like your problem is not with your thread but with the fact that your thread is attempting to update Swing components. That can certainly lead to unpredictable results.

The problem is that Swing runs in its own thread, called the EDT. Your thread may well have made "local copies" of the components you update, so the EDT never sees the updates.

The EventQueue class is the basic means to accessing the EDT. Try code like this:

final String finalValue1 = value1;
final int finalValue2 = value2;
EventQueue.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
  public void run() {
    component1.setText(finalValue1);
    component2.setValue(finalValue2);
  }
});

EventQueue.invokeLater() allows you to run code on the EDT. The EventQueue class is responsible for making sure everything runs in order.

The reason for the two "final" variables is that only final local variables are visible from inside an anonymous inner class. That's a bit annoying, but it's no big deal.
