Re: RFR: 8233185: HttpServer.stop() blocks indefinitely when called on dispatch thread

[Julia Boes]

Hi,
JDK8  we  don't do join() on "dispatcherThread" in stop(). We need to 
find out why we introduce the below code.
####################################################
if (dispatcherThread != null) {
            try {
                dispatcherThread.join();
            } catch (InterruptedException e) {
                Thread.currentThread().interrupt();
                logger.log (Level.TRACE, "ServerImpl.stop: ", e);
            }
        }
#########################################################


Thanks for confirming, Mark. dispatcherThread was introduced with a 
Windows XP specific fix in version 9:
