button click doesn't perform immediately

Vaadin 6 / 7 / 8

Hello,
I have page with filter form, a few buttons and big grid. I can search data, based on filter form, and show data in grid. Searching data provides thread, it may take about secs to mins. When I want to click button to stop searching (basically to stop thread), the action is performed always after the thread is done. But I need to perform click event while thread is working. Does somebody know how to do it? :slight_smile:

Thank you

@SpringComponent
@UIScope
@Scope(ConfigurableBeanFactory.SCOPE_PROTOTYPE)
public class DistraintSearchComponent extends CustomComponent {

    @Autowired
    private Service service
    private Button searchButton = new Button("Search");
    private Button stopButton = new Button("Stop");
    private Thread searchThread;

    public void init(){

        searchButton.addClickListener(new ClickListener() {

            @Override
            public void buttonClick(ClickEvent event) {
                searchThread = new Thread(new Runnable() {
                    @Override
                    public void run() {
                        List<Results> results = service.findByFilter(filter); //this can take some time
                        refreshGrid(results);
                        getUI().push();
                    }
                });
                searchThread.start();
            }
        });

        stopButton.addClickListener(new ClickListener() {

            @Override
            public void buttonClick(ClickEvent event) {
                searchThread.interrupt();
            }
        });

    }
