This isn't an axis problem. The servlet spec does not support threads being spawned by code running in the container. It also does not support opening ports or several other no-nos.

My class (a simple log4j app) logs the environment variables to one file and issues a memory monitoring thread in the background. I'm finding that the memory thread doesn't seem to be running at all when deployed, but works fine when run as a standalone program. Even if I run a Thread.sleep(10000) command in the main body of my code, it returns the string returned by my main service method immediately... Am I missing something, are the threads run differently under axis? Thanks, Ian
