Java provides no alternative. The thread you want to stop has to be written specially. The official Sun line is that applications cannot safely use stop(). That's probably true, but it also makes it impossible to write servlet containers that can properly manage their webapps. (Imagine if your operating system prohibited you from killing rogue processes because 'it might leave things in an inconsistent state'). Ok, right, I'm calm now, sorry for the rant.
