Can't get ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException from Future<?> and SwingWorker if thread starts Executor

Question

I play with multitreading for SwingWorker by using Executor, and I\'m there by mistake identified wrong elements from the Vector, looks like as this code pretty ignores that

Answer 1

I'm not sure it adds much, but I got the expected Caused by using the variation of takteek's answer shown below. I ran it from the command line to be sure the IDE wasn't "helping".

Answer 2

I think the problem you're running into is that exceptions caught in the background thread are only re-thrown if you call get() when processing is complete. This seems to be a common problem with SwingWorker.

You can change your done() function to:

@Override
protected void done() {
    if (str.equals("StartShedule")) {
       try {
          get();
       }
       catch (Exception ex) {
          // This exception was thrown during processing
          ex.printStackTrace();
       }
    }
}

done() gets executed on the event dispatch thread so you can display any error messages you need to from there. I hope that helps some.
