How do I stop or kill a running thread when a condition is true

[chikaman]

I have a class ImpServer which has a method accept, which a client can call by Remote Method Invocation. Accept method has an inner class which implements runnable. I try to use return to exit from the run method if nm is equal to userName. But there is no exit from the run method. What I actually want to do is to stop the thread from running. I don't no how to do this. Please somebody help me




public class ImpServer extends UnicastRemoteObject implements ExchangeContract, Runnable{

public void accept(final String nm) throws RemoteException {
new Thread(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
synchronized(client){
for(int i=0; i<client.size(); i++){
String userName = (String)client.get(i);
if(nm.equals(userName)){
try{
cc.notifyDuplicateName("Duplicate names”)
}catch(Exception e){}
return;

}
}
}

try {

synchronized(client) {
client.add(nm);
send(nm);
ss = new Sub(nm);
sData.add(ss);

}
} catch(Exception e) {
System.err.println(e);
}

}
}).start();
}


}

You need to keep a reference to the thread. Try "interrupt" method, then.

could u please give me a code example

Thread.currentThread().interrupt();

If it does not work, please provide an executable snippet of your code. Otherwise it is difficult to follow your problem.
