If the long running task (started as an @Asynchronous EJB method) is
periodacally sleeping for say 1 minute and then perform some tasks and goes
to sleep again....

Would it then be okay to on the EJB class level have a: private volatile
Therad asynchronousThread; variable...

The @Asynchronous EJB method could then before it enters its loop then do:

asynchronousThread = Thread.currentThread();

and the EJB itself in its @PreDestroy method could then do:

asynchronousThread.interrupt();

to make sure we can perform a shutdown in less time than the actually sleep
time??

Can spurious wakeups still happen or is that a thing from the past? That is
do I when interrupted need to check a volatile boolean flag also to make
sure I was interrupted for the correct reason?

Hope for your input on the above....

Regards
LF
