@Romain Thanks for the answer....
I use a boolean now... the problem (if any) is that using a boolean flag is that the shutdown will take atleast the time the wait interval is.... Did you then mean I need to in the @PreDestroy wait for the async thread to finish and exit? About the thread and threadpool... since this is a long running task I should have the same thread all the time right? But I agree interrupting isnt the best way....
