I have a thread that does a SNMP get request periodically in a loop.
Interrupting the thread should cause the loop to stop, but doesn't.
Here's some pseudo-code:
public class SnmpBug {
public void start() throws IOException {
TransportMapping transport = new DefaultUdpTransportMapping();
transport.listen();
final Snmp snmp = new Snmp(transport);
thread = new Thread() {
@Override
public void run() {
try {
while (!isInterrupted()) {
ResponseEvent response
= snmp.get(requestPdu, target);
// handle response
Thread.sleep(5000);
}
} catch (InterruptedException ie) {
// interrupted, return
}
// this line is never reached
}
};
thread.start();
}
public void stop() {
if (thread != null) {
thread.interrupt();
}
}
}
The bug is in Snmp.java line 820. The library method could throw
InterruptedException, or set interrupted to true.
A good article on how to handle InterruptedException is here:
