Close Browser window stop thread

Hi

If we close the browser window can we write the code to stop the thread that was running on that page
Any ideas on this how to correlate the user actions

Thanks

A thread running on a page?? Are you talking about applets, asynchronous calculations on a server or what?

If it's an applet (the only case where the thread is actually running in a browser) then closing the browser will terminate the entire JVM. All the threads will end as a result of that. You don't have to write any code to help that process along.

I have a thread running in a jsp
I have a button which clicked will start the thread and a stop button to stop the thread

but if the user forgot to click the stop the thread button and if the user closes the browser the thread is still running
so i want to know if there is any mechanism which i can use to capture the user activity and stop the thread

thanks in advance

WHY did you want to start a Thread inside a JSP?

JSP are for presentation - I cant think of any reason to start a Thread in one.

Not really. And you can't capture the "user activity" where the user goes home for the night, leaving the browser still open, either. As William Brogden suggested, you might want to review your design. If letting users create unregulated threads is a problem, then consider not letting them do that.
