I add a timeout for InputStream read().

807591Mar 26 2008 — edited Jun 4 2008
I am looking for a timeout for InputStream read() since Java doesn't support it. I use a Timer class to handle the timeout value and put the InputStream.read() into another thread. When the time is up, the Timer object will stop the thread of reading. What do you think about this solution? Do you have any other better solution?
thanks
