Hi, I experience the following error under Netscape 4.6: # Applet IIprices did not shut down within 30 seconds -- killing it. # Exception while destroying group: IIprices java.lang.IllegalThreadStateException at java.lang.ThreadGroup.destroy(ThreadGroup.java:673) * at netscape.applet.AppletThreadGroup.destroyItDamnIt(AppletThreadGroup.java:53) at netscape.applet.AppletThreadKiller.run(AppletThreadKiller.java:449) at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:504) This error causes Netscape under Win95/98 to hang, but not under linux 2.2.7 (glibc 2.1, redhat 6.0) with the same version 4.6. My IIprices applet launches a new thread 'tr' (tr being a 'Thread' variable in the IIprices class) from its 'start' method. Its 'stop' method closes a socket connection which makes the 'run' method (of the newly launched thread) return, thus ending that thread. Additionally, I have put a 'tr=null' in the 'stop' method and a 'while (Thread.currentThread()==tr)' statement in the 'run' method as shown in the 'Threads with applets' trail in the Java tutorial. Any clues? Please HELP!!!!
