This assumes you have created your first dynamic web project in Eclipse. If you have not yet created a package, in the left panel of Eclipse, expand the Java Resources folder, right click on the src folder, and select New > Package. Give the package a name, such as com.main and select Finish. Right click on the newly created package and select New > Servlet. Give the servlet a name, such as HungThread, and select Finish.

If you want the thread to hang indefinitely, in the doGet method section of the markup, add the following.

while(true) {
    try {
        Thread.sleep(1000);
    } catch (InterruptedException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
}

If you want the thread to hang for 13 minutes, in the doGet method section of the markup, add the following.

int count = 1;
while (count < 800) {
  try {   			
    Thread.sleep(1000);
    count++; 
	} catch (InterruptedException e) {
      e.printStackTrace();
	}   		
    out.print("Thread was hung for 800 seconds (13 minutes).");
}

Add the following markup to your web.xml file. If your package is something other than "com.main", replace com.main with the name of your package.

<servlet>
   <servlet-name>HungThread</servlet-name>
    <servlet-class>com.main.HungThread</servlet-class>
</servlet>
 
<servlet-mapping>
    <servlet-name>HungThread</servlet-name>
    <url-pattern>/HungThread</url-pattern>    
</servlet-mapping>

You can now run the project on your server runtime in Eclipse, or export the WAR or EAR to your application server (JBoss Tomcat WebSphere), and then navigate to www.example.com/context_root/HungThread. The page should load endlessly.
