you could put the code that inititates a cleanup thread in a method of the
usermanager that checks when the last cleanup has been invoked. this will
be more robust and won't give you a noticable performance penalty. It's not
that nice (sort of a heuristic approach because it relies on the fact that
getUser() is probably called often enough to ensure that your cleanup works
reliably).
pseudo code:
getUser(String userName){
if(lastCleanupWasTooLongAgo()){
doCleanUpActionAsyncronouslyAndSetTimestamp();
}
return getCustomUser(userName);
}
