Default Thread

[Ritesh raushan]

how many default threads in java..


in oracle docs mention that only one thread i.e main thread..

but in jvm specification mention that two default threads..i.e daemon and non-daemon...

and how we proved that default thread is created before main()...

You sure you're reading that right? There are two types of thread: daemon and non-daemon.

[Jesper de Jong]

Daemon and non-daemon are types of threads, not actual instances of threads. Normally the JVM will exit when all non-daemon threads have stopped. Daemon threads automatically get stopped when the JVM exists.

How many threads there are in an "empty" JVM is implementation-dependent. There is one thread that runs the main() method, and there might be one or more other threads for example for garbage collection or other background tasks.

Java code always runs in a thread. So the thread that runs the main() method must be created before the main() method runs, otherwise there would be no way to run the method.

then if anyone ask that how many default threads created by jvm then what will i given..

Can you give us a reference?

That it is implementation dependent, there will be a minimum of one, but usually more.

That's a broken link -- would you like to try again?

I don't see anything about daemon and non-daemon threads in http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/essential/concurrency/procthread.html

Or was that some other page you were trying to link to?

i know there is no daemon and non-daemon thread you should be read jvm specification where declared......

You said: "in jvm specification mention that two default threads"

However, you have not provided a link to where it says that in the JVM spec. The link you provided (http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/essential/.../procthread.html) is not valid, and even if you filled in the "..." part, would not point to the JVM spec.

If you're making a claim that the JVM spec says something, then you need to provide a valid link to the part of the JVM spec that supports your claim.
