acceptAndOpen() blocks / Who to stop a thread in j2me

[Richard Lavoie]

Hallo everybody,

I'm trying to write a client/server application which uses bluetooth
to do the communication.
Wenn I start the server, I have to start acceptAndOpen() to wait for
incomming connections of the clients.
My Problem ist that if there isn't any client the function above will
block the application.
What I tried was to start it as a thread by making the class server
runnable.
The problem now ist how to stop this thread (in particular
acceptAndOpen()).
There isn't a method Thread.stop() or suspend() in j2me.
What I tried to was to make a dummy connection to server to get out of
acceptAndOpen(). But this ist't the nice way to do it.

Any help, please!!!

The above should be in a *separate* thread. You're blocking yourself by
executing that on the main thread.

Call close() on the Connection object.

There isn't a method Thread.stop() or suspend() in j2me.

Nor in J2SE. It's deprecated.

acceptAndOpen(). But this ist't the nice way to do it.

Call close() and code your Runnable object to exit its run() method.
