ServerSocket as a thread

Question

Hi, i have made a class, SockServ, which extends Thread, in this class i create a ServerSocket an then wait for connecting clients and create worker threads acordingly.
Now, when i want to close down everything, i start by going through all the worker threads and interrupt them which all goes fine but when i try to interrupt SockServ i dont get a interrupt exception.
Here is how i create the SockServ class:
SockServ scks= new SockServ();
Thread t = new Thread(sockServThreadGroup,scks);
t.start();
t.setName("SocketServ");And here is the run method of the SockServ class:
public void run()
      while(running)
        try
            Socket socket = servSock.accept();
            Thread t1 = new Thread(myThreadGroup,new SocketServerService(socket,s,tempTable),s);
        catch (InterruptedException e)
         System.out.println("SocketServer interrupted");
           running=false;
}Thank you.

Answer 1

Try explicitly closing the socket.In my ServSock class i create my worker threads too and assign them to a new thread group, but the ServSock class is a thread as well and it is assigned to a threadgroup as well. Could it have something to do wit that?
when i run this i get a nullpointer exception but activecount() is not 0
for (int i = 0; i < sockServThreadGroup.activeCount(); i++)
            System.out.println("active SocetServer Threads: "+sockServThreadGroup.activeCount());
           sockServListThreads.interrupt();
