Re: Spawn New Thread

[Corey Baswell]

Really I nead the thread to be up the lifetime of Tomcat which brings up 
another question. Right now I start thread in a static block of my servlet 
class (for example):

public class MyServelet .......
static
{
   MyThread myThread = new MyThread();
   myThread.setDaemon(true);
   myThread.start();
}
because I know MyServlet will be loaded when Tomcat is. This seems to work 
but is kind of "goofy" because the thread does not have a direct 
relationship with the servlet it's just the only place I know to kick it 
off.  Is there a better (or atleast more natural) place to start this 
thread?

Thanks,
Corey

If the thread is associated with a servlet. It would be best to use the 
destroy method of the servlet to stop the thread.

Hello,
I'm trying to figure out what the proper way for spawning a new thread in 
Tomcat is.  I can create a new thread when my servlet is first loaded, but 
it does not get closed down when tomcat does. Is there anyway to register 
a new thread with Tomcat so that it will get closed when Tomcat goes down?
