How to Stop a Thread.......

[kanthi kiran]

Hi friends,

My doubt is........

I have three threads which are going to access the method with different priorities. Is there any way that thread with the lowest priority will be execute first without the mercy of the cpu scheduler... by stopping the other threads to start executing the method.....

Thanks

java.util.concurrent.*

Officially? No. The methods to temporarally stop a thread (to suspend a thread) are deprecated.

The way to accomplish this is cooperatively. You higher priority threads will need to wait, while the lower priority thread finishes its task first.
