Timeout implemendation

[babuce babuce]

Hi ,

I am calling an AS400 application from JAVA program using the AS400 JAVA libraries.
Each time a request come I am creatin a separate thread to call AS400.

The AS400 application api does not support timeout feature and it hands indefinitly at times.

I want to implement the timeout feature in my JAVA code.

Can any one help me to implement this.



Thanks,
Babu

One way of doing this in core java is using ThreadObj.join(long millisec) on the main thread.

Yep, something like ....

    
cThread.start();
 
boolean waitInterrupted =true;
 
while (waitInterrupted) {
 
waitInterrupted = flase;
 
        try
        {
            cThread.join(timeoutSeconds * 1000);
        }
        catch (InterruptedException ie)
        {
            // log wait failure ....
 
            waitInterrupted = true;
        }
 
        if (cThread.isAlive() && !waitInterrupted)
        {
            throw new SomeException();
        }
}
