Class InterruptableInputStream

java.lang.Object
java.io.InputStream
org.jets3t.service.io.InterruptableInputStream
All Implemented Interfaces:
Closeable, AutoCloseable, InputStreamWrapper

public class InterruptableInputStream extends InputStream implements InputStreamWrapper
Input stream wrapper that allows the underlying wrapped input stream to be interrupted. Every time a blocking stream operation is invoked on this class, the interrupt flag is checked first. If this flag is set, the underlying stream is closed and an IOException "Input Stream Interrupted" is thrown.

Note: This hacky class does not really solve the problem of interrupting blocking Java input streams, as it cannot unblock a blocked read operation. It really just serves as a convenient way to interrupt streams before any potentially blocking operations.
