Re: how to stop a thread when it is waitting a socket?

i think you can the close() call......... this will stop your
ServerSocket object from listening..... The object will throw an
SocketException !!! so you can catch the exception outside!!!

for example,
ServerSocket server=new ServerSocket();
/* your code ........................*/

and when you want to stop the socket from listening
call this
server.close();

your code
try{
while(someCondition){
        Socket socks=server.accept();
            /**do something with your socket */
    }
}catch(SocketException e){
          /*reaches here after you make a server.close() call! */
  }
