time limit for compiled script

[Attila Szegedi]

There isn’t, and really there couldn’t be - by definition any external stopping would stop the script at unpredictable time, right? It can’t really be safer than Thread.stop().

Nashorn compiles to JVM bytecode; it’s as suitable for stopped execution as any Java class’ code would be; which is to say, as well as with Thread.stop().

In a service we're running, pieces of JavaScript code are submitted by users and introducing some limitations is absolutely necessary. I'd like to avoid using deprecated stop() method on the thread, which is currently the only solution I can think of.
