[midPoint] How to interrupt a task?

[Pavol Mederly]

Hello Wojciech,

in Java, there is no general way how to stop unresponsive thread - just 
google e.g. for "how to kill hung java thread".

Calling Thread.interrupt is the most that midPoint can do - and does - 
for such cases (along with carefully checking for thread termination 
flag as frequently as practically possible).

So the only way forward is to look at the stack trace(s) that are 
provided for stalled tasks, or that can be requested externally, find 
the cause - i.e. for what the thread waits - and try to remediate that. 
If at all possible.

Best regards,
