Question

The Http Server embedded in JDK 6 is a big help developing web services, but I\'ve got situation where I published an Endpoint and then the code crashed and left the server runn

Answer 1

I've never used this server before and I can't find any good documentation. Perhaps these less elegant solutions have occurred to you already, but I just thought I would mention them.

Seems like com.sun.net.httpserver.HttpServer has an implementation class called HttpServerImpl. It has a method called stop().

Or perhaps you can find the Thread listening on the server socket and call interrupt().
