How to block ongoing network Connection ?

[Tiger79]

Hi,
I have made an application with a custom made connection class. This class actually doe nothing more than connecting to a particular url through http. The only added functionality is a priority-based vector which stores all the requests for a http connection and sends them according to their priority.
Sometimes it happens I am sending a request with a low priority when all of a sudden a new higher priority request is added to my vector.
is there a way to stop an already ongoing connection so that the new higher priority one can be processed right away ?
I tried with resetting the used connection, and also closing my input and output streams :

 private InputStream in = null;
 private OutputStream out = null;

conn = (HttpConnection)Connector.open(request.getUrl(), Connector.READ_WRITE, true);

if (in != null)
{
    try
    {
        in.close();
    }
    catch (IOException e)
    {
         System.err.print(e.toString());
    }
}
if (out != null)
{
     try
     {
         out.close();
     }
     catch (IOException e)
     {
         System.err.print(e.toString());
     }
}
closeConnection();

and

public void closeConnection()
{
   if (conn != null)
   {
       try
       {
           conn.close();
       }
       catch (IOException e)
       {
           System.out.println("Probleem met closen Connectie : " + e.toString());
       }
   }
   System.gc();
}

Hi Tiger79

A simple solution is to work with Threads.
Create an Index Number for each request.
lets say a low level connection is established,
sudden, a new High Priority is ready to initiate,
if a high priority request has inititated,kill the preivous Object thread.


Or Let your server decide which Connection to work with or letting go by sending the Priority as REQUEST HEADER.

Bare in mind, if those are long term requests, expect loss information over IT in ur server..
