Want to run background threads from your servlets? Well, don't. But if you must, then read the Distributopia Servlet Background Threads FAQ. New version. Old, dead links removed, nifty new HTML format:
http://www.distributopia.com/servlet_stuff/background_threads.html One option not explored in the FAQ (because I haven't personally used it) is JMX timer services. Bea now recommends using javax.management.timer.Time rather than it's own Time Services. Has anyone actually used the JMX timer service? To control servlets?
