[concurrency-interest] ThreadPoolExecutor.afterExecute(Runnable r, Throwable t) is not behaving as per documentation

[Jagadheeswar Reddy]

Hi ,
 
I have created a runnable task and deliberately created an unchecked
exception in my run method.
 
My class TaskExecutor extends  ThreadPoolExecutor  and overrides
afterExecute method .
 
When I check for Throwable object in this method, it is still null,
inspite of throwing unchecked exception in run method
 
My code:
 
public class TaskExecutor extends ThreadPoolExecutor {
        
            public TaskExecutor() {
 
                        super(2, 2, 10, TimeUnit.SECONDS, new
ArrayBlockingQueue<Runnable>(5));
}
 
 
            public boolean scheduleTask(Runnable r) {
                                    Future<Object> resultFetcher;
                                    Object result = "hello runnable
executed successfully";
                                    resultFetcher =submit(r, result);
                                    return true;
            }
            protected void afterExecute(Runnable r,Throwable t){
                                    try{
                                                
                                    super.afterExecute(r,t);
                                    System.out.println("inside the
method afterExecute");
                                    
                                    if(t!=null){
 
System.out.println("Exception is thrown in Runnable method");
                                    }           
                            
                        }catch(Exception e){
                                    e.printStackTrace();
                        }
                        
            }
 
}
 
 
My runnable task run method throws NullPointerException :
 
  public void  run(){
             Object out=null;
            System.out.println("inside the runnable task
method"+out.toString());
     }
 
 
Please let me know if iam doing something wrong
 
Thanks& Regards
Reddy
