Subj : Stop executeReader from host JVM?

Is there a way to stop the execution of a Javascript from Java code?

I have an application which hosts Rhino and executes scripts using
Context.executeReader

Bu what if my script has an infinite loop such as:
while(true()) {}

If I have a thread waiting for executeReader to complete, I can have a
timeout after which I kill execution.

So my question is, how can I tell the context to _stop_ executing?

Context.exit doesn't work 'cause the thread calling Context.exit is
different from the thread doing the execution.

Can I just kill or interrupt the executing thread?

Thanks,

jeff
