Thread is running even after calling iterrupt

Question

Hi,
I have a strange problem in Oracle Full Suite 10.1.3. I have a thread class which is having a private attribute as keepAlive. Start methode of this file is calling another method and this method is checking value of keepAlive. Here is the sample
private void setupOTPConnector(CommunicationMethodsDetails comDet){
               while(keepAlive){
                    try {
                         Thread.sleep(delay); // Wait 1000 milliseconds
                    }catch (InterruptedException e) {
                         log.debug("some debug logs");
                         keepAlive = false;
                    }// Ignore this exception
if(keepAlive)
//Some method I have
Now while stopping this process, we are calling another method from another ejb file. sample is
Thread[] threadArray = new Thread[Thread.activeCount()];
Thread.enumerate(threadArray);
try{
for (int i = 0; i < threadArray.length; i++)
String thread_group_name = ""+threadArray.getThreadGroup();
String thread_name = ""+threadArray[i].getName();
if (thread_group_name.indexOf("Connectors")>0 && thread_name.indexOf(communication_id)>-1){
log.debug("--- FOUND! --- Thread: "+threadArray[i].getName()+" in group: "+threadArray[i].getThreadGroup()+" will be terminated.");
System.out.println("--- FOUND! --- Thread: "+threadArray[i].getName()+" in group: "+threadArray[i].getThreadGroup()+" will be terminated.");
threadArray[i].interrupt();
threadArray[i].stop();
}catch(Exception nullp){
Now alll the debug logs for interrupting thread are showing, but still the first method is continueously running, same is not happenning for JBoss, its working properly (I mean stopping properly) in JBoss.
Any suggestions or clue?
Thanks in Advance.

Hi Dirk,
Thanks for your infomation. Infact, apart from this problem, i have the problem with saving the webtemplate. As it is taking much time to save a template after modifications, i had to terminate the wad process. It seems above 2 problems are related....any ideas?
Thanks
ravi
