passing exceptions from a thread

could somebody tell me how to pass an exception from a thread to its parent class? like i want to do this.

class someClass {
void someMethod throws Exception () {
throw new Exception();
}
}

class anotherClass implements Runnable {
public void run () {
someClass s = new someClass();
s.someMethod();
}
}

its not gonna compile because i've got to try catch s.someMethod(). But i dont want to catch it just then, i want the error to pass to its parent class, which in my case is a gui class to display the error. anybody have ideas on how?

Parent class ? What exactly do you mean, If you want the error to be "passed" then
it must be up the calling stack ot by a pointer value.

yea what i meant was the calling stack. how do i send the error up the calling stack so i wont have to handle it in the run() method?

The run method, when used as target for a runnable, is not part of your programs
regular calling stack, its the java VM that doing the calling.

How come your program/strategy can't handle an exception thrown by a
thread ? I have a feeling that you may be "barking up the wrong tree" :)
