You can easily go with a workaround. Just run the needed logic for some amount of times and finish the job based on some criteria.
public class ThreadRestartWorkaround extends Thread {
public static void main(String[] args) {
ThreadRestartWorkaround th = new ThreadRestartWorkaround(5);
th.start();
}
private int maxCycles;
private int currentCycle;
public ThreadRestartWorkaround(int maxCycles) {
this.maxCycles = maxCycles;
}
@Override
public void run() {
while(executeSomeLogicUntilReachingTheLimit());
System.out.println("Finished due to exceeding the maxCycles config");
}
private boolean executeSomeLogicUntilReachingTheLimit() {
currentCycle++;
System.out.println("Executing logic for " + currentCycle + " time");
return currentCycle < maxCycles;
}
}
And the output is
Executing logic for 1 time
Executing logic for 2 time
Executing logic for 3 time
Executing logic for 4 time
Executing logic for 5 time
Finished due to exceeding the maxCycles config
