First my apologies for this noob question but I'm new to threading and
until now did not go further then using some snippets..

I'm running a database procedure in a separate thread. When everything
runs fine I see a box with a progressbase till action is finished.
Now I look into a way to display the exception in a new form when
something goes wrong.

However this does not work. When an error occurs the dialog with the
progressbar continues being displayed and never ends.
and application runs into Exception in thread "Thread-0"
org.eclipse.swt.SWTException: Invalid thread access.

How can I solve this?



public int open() {
createContents();
Display display = getParent().getDisplay();
Rectangle parentSize = getParent().getBounds();
Rectangle mySize = shell.getBounds();
int locationX, locationY;
locationX = (parentSize.width - mySize.width)/2+parentSize.x;
locationY = (parentSize.height - mySize.height)/2+parentSize.y;
shell.setLocation(new Point(locationX, locationY));
shell.open();
shell.layout();
oraSettings = OracleSettings.instance();
conn = oraSettings.getOracleConnection();
new databaseOperation(display).start();
System.out.println("Finished");
while (!shell.isDisposed()) {
if (!display.readAndDispatch())
display.sleep();
}
return result;
}


protected void createContents() {
shell = new Shell(getParent(), SWT.DIALOG_TRIM | SWT.APPLICATION_MODAL);
shell.setSize(241, 119);
shell.setText("Working - Please wait");

progressBar = new ProgressBar(shell, SWT.INDETERMINATE);
progressBar.setBounds(14, 32, 206, 19);

final Label testLabel = new Label(shell, SWT.NONE);
testLabel.setText("Busy...");
testLabel.setBounds(14, 8, 209, 17);

final Button cancelButton = new Button(shell, SWT.NONE);
cancelButton.setText("cancel");
cancelButton.setBounds(78, 57, 78, 26);
}


private void databaseAction() {
...
try {
...
}
catch (SQLException e) {
// In this class I try to open a dialog to display the stack error.
databaseUtil.showException(shell, e);
}
finally {
...
}
}


class databaseOperation extends Thread {
private Display display;

public databaseOperation(Display display) {
this.display = display;
}

public void run () {
databaseAction();
display.asyncExec(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
shell.close();
}
});
}
}

ShowException must be run in the display thread (use the displays
synExec or asyncExec).
