while-loop, seperate thread, stuck

[cstommijx]

im havin an issue with Thread, Im using a seperte thread to connect to the network and so, i am using a while-loop to stop the execution of the codes further down. but things seems to get stuck in the while-loop

private boolean blnDone = false;

ReadWeb readWeb = new ReadWeb();
Thread tRW = new Thread(readWeb);
tRW.start();

while (blnDone == false) {

try {
Thread.sleep(1000);

} catch (Exception e) {
}
//LOOP IS NEVER EXIT
}

/*
*codes to execute after data is retreived from jsp through the thread, but it never comes down.
*/


class ReadWeb implements Runnable {

String strResult = ""; //testing

public void run() {
StreamConnection stc = null;
InputStream is = null;
StringBuffer b = new StringBuffer();

try {
stc = (StreamConnection) Connector.open("http://www.yahoo.com");
is = stc.openInputStream();
int ch;

while ((ch = is.read()) != -1) {
b.append((char)ch);
}

System.out.println(b.toString());

} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} finally {

if (is != null) {
try {
is.close();
} catch (Exception e) {}
}

if (stc != null) {
try {
stc.close();
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}

}
blnDone = true;
}

}

hi,

make sure that:
- you are using the same "blnMade" field - some IDE's could create variable fields for you, so you can have two different blnMade (with different visiblity),
- comment yoru "while" loop in runnable to check if that is not stuck on that loop (just in case)
or comment entire code in runnable start() to let thread to return immadiately,
Your code is working fine for me (in Sun WTK emulator),

regards,
Peter
