| Chapter 16: The SureStop Utility |
| | |
| Overview |
| | |
| Although the stop() method on the class Thread has been deprecated as of JDK 1.2, there are still times when it can be used as a last resort to get a thread to die. In this chapter, Ill present the SureStop class, which can be used to monitor a thread for a period of time. If the thread is still alive after the specified period of time has elapsed, SureStop will invoke stop() on it to ensure that it finally dies. |
