How to stop / destroy a stream by name? It is created like this:

Thread t = new Thread()...

Using interrupt() does not work, the thread still continues to work. Using stop() stops the stream, but it doesn’t like to use the deprecated functions.

  1. This is possible only if you do something in a loop and check the value of the flag. Then you can set the flag by this method.

  2. Or if there is a socket waiting for a connection, you can also close it.
