Thread timeout

Question

Hi All,
I have problem Please help me it is very urgent.
I have a class that is calling one-third party API method. That method is returning int.
The problem is we don�t know when the third party method is returning the value. I need to wait up to certain time, if I didn�t get any value I have to terminate that process and repeat the new process again. Please do the needful. My mail id is [email protected]
Advance thanks to everyone.
Thanks and Regards,
Mohaideen S.

Hi Sameer,
I tried with your idea. But the system is hanging. Please help me. Herewith i attached my code.
My programme
public class MyThread implements Runnable
     private Object lock;
     private String name;
     Thread t1;
     long start;
     long end;
     int i=0;
     wrapper w;
     public MyThread()
          t1=new Thread(this);
          t1.start();
     public static void main(String[] args)
          new MyThread();
     public void run()
          while(true)
               try
                    w=new wrapper();
                    System.out.println("AAAA");
                    Thread.sleep(5000);
                    i=w.geti();
                    if(i==0)
               throw new NullPointerException("Mohaideen");
               catch(Exception e)
                    System.out.println(e.toString());
Wrapper class
public class wrapper extends MyThread1 implements Runnable
     int i=0;
     Thread t;
     public wrapper()
          //System.out.println(Thread.activeCount());
          t=new Thread(this);
          t.start();
     public void run()
          i=mohaiValue();
     public int geti()
          System.out.println("i----->"+i);
          return i;
Third party API class simulation
public class MyThread1
     public MyThread1()
     public int mohaiValue()
          System.out.println("Inside");
          int j=10;
          for(double i=0;i<650000000;i++)
          return j;
I am looking your reply.
Thanks and Regards,
