JVM如何处理RMI远程方法中的运行时异常？

Question

I have been trying to find out how JVM handles runtime exception in RMI remote methods. I have a remote method that contains the following two methods:

doSomething(
 print "doSomething thread id " + Thread.currentThread.getId()
)

fail(){
 print "fail thread id " + Thread.currentThread.getId()
 throw new RunTimeException
}

The behavior I saw was that even if method fail() is invoked, the thread on which the runtime exception was thrown is still not terminated. A sample output is:

fail thread id 16
stacktrace
 ...
doSomething thread id 16
doSomething thread id 16

The exception is caught. The caller will get a ServerException with your RuntimeException nested in it as the cause. The executing thread doesn't die.
