I am running a thread whose main action is to call on a proxy using a blocking function , and wait for it to give it something.
I've used the known pattern of a volatile boolean and the Interruption , but I'm not sure it will work: When I tried to add a catch block for "InterruptedException" , I get the error "Unreachable catch block for InterruptedException. This exception is never thrown from the try statement body"
So if I'm never going to get an InterruptedException , this means I'll never get out of the blocking action - thus will never stop.
I'm a bit puzzled. Any idea?
public void run() {
Proxy proxy = ProxyFactory.generateProxy();
Source source;
while (!isStopped) {
try {
source = proxy.getPenfingSources();
scheduleSource(source);
} catch (Exception e) {
log.error("UnExpected Exception caught while running",e);
}
}
}
public void stop() {
this.isStopped = true;
Thread.currentThread().interrupt();
}
