But while reading, maybe I want to kill the thread. So I interrupt it, but does socket's reading methods throw InterruptedException ? I didn't find. So, how can I nicely ask thread to die while it's blocking on reading socket? Thanks Mohamed Mansour It has been answered How to terminate a thread blocking on socket IO operation instantly? Basically, when you close() the socket, all the associated streams will close, causing all the blocked

The code that I have creates a Callable instance and using ExecutorService a new thread is being created. I want to kill this thread after certain amount of time if the thread is not done with its execution. After going through the jdk documentation I've realized that Future.cancel() method can be used to stop the execution of the thread, but to my dismay its not working. Of course future.get() method is sending an interrupt to the Thread after the stipulated time (in my case its 2 seconds) and even the thread is receiving this interrupt but this interruption is taking place only once the

There are interesting questions and answers regarding Java's InterruptedException , for example The Cause of InterruptedException and Handling InterruptedException in Java . However, none of them tells me about the possible sources of InterruptedException. What about OS signals like SIGTERM, SIGQUIT, SIGINT? Does pressing CTRL-C on the command line produce an InterruptedException? What else? None of the things you list produce an InterruptedException . The only thing that can interrupt a thread is a call to Thread#interrupt() . The JLS is relatively clear on the matter, from section 17.2.3 :

In Effective Java (page 275), there is this code segment: ... for (int i = 0; i < concurrency; i++) { executor.execute(new Runnable() { public void run() { ready.countDown(); try { start.await(); action.run(); } catch (InterruptedException e) { Thread.currentThread().interrupt(); } finally { done.countDown(); } } } ... What's the use of catching the interrupted exception just to re-raise it? Why not just let it fly? The simple answer is that InterruptedException is a checked exception and it is not in the signature of the Runnable.run method (or the Executable.execute() method). So you have to

I need to make a library in which I will have synchronous and asynchronous feature. executeSynchronous() - waits until I have a result, returns the result. executeAsynchronous() - returns a Future immediately which can be processed after other things are done, if needed. Core Logic of my Library The customer will use our library and they will call it by passing DataKey builder object. We will then construct a URL by using that DataKey object and make a HTTP client call to that URL by executing it and after we get the response back as a JSON String, we will send that JSON String back to our
