Should
I do that, without shutdown Tomcat ?
If you must have an endless loop, here is a way to kill it.
try
{
while (true)
{
// inside infinite loop
}
}
catch (InterruptedException)
{
}
When you want the thread to be killed, just call it's interrupt() method.
This will catch the exception outside the loop and terminate.
Just a suggestion...

So, why are you creating an infinite loop? I mean, if you didn't, you
wouldn't have to kill it.
If you're generally asking how one can kill threads in Java, you could use
java.lang.Thread.stop() (but read the deprecation warning). But as a rule,
not creating infinite loops is a much better strategy.

Not the way you mean. You can set a timeout for a session (by modifying
your web.xml); but AFAIK, the only way to set a timeout for a request would
be on your browser.

Subject: Killing endless loop servlet - howto ? killing JVM or unload class
?
Hi all,
I'm rolling out a successful Tomcat instalation in a shared environment (
it's a great software ! ). But I have a concern.
I created a servlet that loops forever ( a very stupid one, by the way ).
When I executed it, it allocates a Tomcat thread and it just runs forever.
If I try to kill it after it consumed, let's say, 30 seconds of processing,
it ended up killing the whole JVM.
First, I don't know if it's killing a thread is the right approach. Should
I
do that, without shutdown Tomcat ? Is there a way to set a 'time-out' for a
Servlet ? What I can doin this situation ? Is there an Interceptor that can
unload this class somehow ?
Thanks in advance
Renato - Brazil
P.S. I'm running Linux, kernel 2.4.3, Tomcat 3.2.2
