B4J Question Stop a running server

So I'm making a library wrapping a Google REST API.

And the way I'm doing the OAUTH2 authorization is by starting a local server, opening the login website for the user to login and receiving the response in the local server. After that I don't really need the local server anymore.

Is there a way to stop it? maybe having the code in a class, and destroying the instance after using it somehow?

Or, are there any disadvantages for leaving it running all the time? (apart from having an unnecessary port opened)

Thank you, I didn't see that thread.

I will have to make some tests because I don't know what the effects of calling ExitApplication will be, specially when this will be compiled to a library. Will it exit the application that is using my library?

I'm using jServer since I don't know any other way. Could it be done using a more low level approach, enabling to stop it maybe?

You can stop a server with JavaObject:
B4X: 
Dim jo As JavaObject = server
jo.GetFieldJO("server").RunMethod("stop", null)

Note that it may be problematic to embed the server handlers in a library. It will not work for a UI app.

It will be simpler to create a small "server" app and start it with jShell (see B4J-Bridge on how to do it). You can print the required data to the console and exit. This will allow you to read the result from the other app.
