Java Threads - Get running threads

[Pedro Pinto]

Hy there,

I'm building an application that creates a thread. This thread creates
other threads to perform several tasks.

My question is simple. Being this main thread created in a JSP page,
and still running after the user logs out, how can i get the current
status of the thread? I would like for the user, when he logs on the
application, to verify if the thread is active, that is, the current
status.

I can't seem to be able to get the thread once it is initialized.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Regards

Pedro Pinto

Hi Pedro:

I am not sure if I completely understand your questions.

Examples of thread details that can be listed are:

Thread.getName(), Thread.isAlive() etc; further info at:

Why do you want to show the use the status of the thread?

You need to store a reference to the thread somewhere.

Like saving it in application with username as key.

BTW, it is very bad practice to have JSP pages start threads.
