As far as I know the only reason why destroy() would not be called is if the
servlet engine crashed abominably in which case the resources would be freed
with the caveat that they would leave things in an uncertain state.
In the normal run of things the destroy method would be called.

You can contol that yourself quite easily. If you are in a loop with many
iterations, simply compare the current system time with one you made earlier
and break out of the loop, send appropriate message(s) to the client, clean
up
and exit normally.
If you mean service thread idle time then your servlet engine
should allow you to set the length of time a thread is idle before it is
returned
to the thread pool thus abandoning the current service request (messy).
Hope this helps

head
