Hi,
I was just wondering if there is a secure way to stop/pause a thread, which
is waiting for a socket connection, e.g.:

while (true) {
  Socket connection = serverSocket.accept();
.......
}

I tryed several algorithms, including setting a Thread class variable, that
stops the thread, and sending a fake connection to exit the accept()
deadlock, but the socket is still 'listening'?!

Any suggestion or advice is very much appreciated!

Regards,
Stefan
