TSimpleServer.java does not stop when asked to...

[Mario Emmenlauer]

Dear All,

I have a Java TSimpleServer runnable in a thread running. The
main thread eventually asks the server to stop(). But they seem
to ignore the request. I checked the code of TSimpleServer.java
and I'm under the impression that the innermost loop the server
does not poll the variable stopped_ or does it?

https://github.com/apache/thrift/blob/master/lib/java/src/org/apache/thrift/server/TSimpleServer.java
[...] from line 76:

          while (true) {
            if (eventHandler_ != null) {
              eventHandler_.processContext(connectionContext, inputTransport, 
outputTransport);
            }
            if(!processor.process(inputProtocol, outputProtocol)) {
              break;
            }
          }

Do I understand correctly that the TSimpleServer will only check
stopped_ when there is no client connected? Personally I would
prefer if the client can not "force" my server to continue running.
If required, clients should be forcibly disconnected on stop().

Is there a way to achieve that? I found no methods "forceStop()" or
"disconnectClients()" or something like it. Am I even on the right
track?

All the best,
