Edit Question
Title
Body
I am in doubt, what happens when a thread joins itself. i.e thread calls the join method on its own. I am not getting any error. Sample : public class JoinItself extends Thread { public void run() { System.out.println("Inside the run method "); System.out.println(Thread.currentThread().isAlive()); for(int i=0;i<5;i++) { try { System.out.println("Joining itself ..."); Thread.currentThread().join(); } catch (InterruptedException e) { e.printStackTrace(); } } } public static void main(String[] args) { JoinItself j = new JoinItself(); System.out.println(j.isAlive()); j.start(); System.out.println(j.isAlive()); System.out.println("Thread started ..."); } } But Why? Should I get any error?
