java - Stopping a thread forcefully -

suppose have following piece of code running thread:

public void logic() {    //step1    //step2    //step3    //step4    ...    ...    //stepn } 

nowhere in method interruptible methods called(like wait, sleep, join).and steps taking lot of times execute. reason might other blocking operations (socket.read or read methods of file). , want ensure if entire logic method not executed in m seconds thread should killed. best way achieve this?

you "nowhere in method interruptible methods called(like wait, sleep, join)", interruption isn't limited blocking methods; method can respond interruption if check it.

put between each step in logic method:

if (thread.currentthread().interrupted()) {     throw new interruptedexception(); } 

(you might want put static allowinterruption method somewhere , call after each step.)
