Nathan Beyer commented on NET-168:
----------------------------------
You can call disconnect from another thread, but you must do so exclusive of
any other interaction on the FTPClient instance. You must synchronize access.
You may be able to do this sort of thing with java.net.Socket, but it likely
has some form of internal synchronization to protect things; however, there's
no mention of this in the javadoc, so I wouldn't make any assumptions about
that.
In any case, what you'll want to do is something like this.
// create a final lock object to synchronize access to the 'ftpCon' field
private FTPClient ftpCon = null;
private final Object ftpConLock = new Object();
public void testHandler() {
...
// synchronize every access to the field
synchronized(ftpConLock) {
ftpCon = new FTPClient();
...
}
...
}
public void interrupt() {
synchronized(ftpConLock) {
if (ftpCon != null && ftpCon.isConnected()) {
ftpCon.disconnect();
}
}
}
