[Jython-dev] Time-out an embedded Jython script

[Thomas B. B. <tb...@sy...>]

Hi all!

In my quest for embedding Jython as a user-programmable validation language
within Borland AppServer 4.5, I have the following question:

  - How can I ensure that a call for the exec(...) method of a BSFManager is
allowed to run only for a limited time frame? Thus, if a user decides to
write a Jython script that never halts, the exec is terminated when the
designated time frame expires.

Please note that - as far as I know - developer control over thread
management within the AppServer is NOT an option, unfortunately...

All ideas appreciated!

Regards,
Thomas
