Hello,

Consider I scheduled a Runnable for periodic execution with ScheduledExecutorService and there occurs some system Error like OutOfMemory. It will be silently swallowed.

scheduler.scheduleWithFixedDelay(new Runnable() {
                    @Override
                    public void run() {
                      throw new OutOfMemoryError(); // Swallowed
                    }
                }, 0, delay, TimeUnit.SECONDS);

Is it normal?

Why doesn't it propagate to the container?

What is the correct way to handle such errors?

Thanks!
