What about creating a ServletContextListener? With that you will be notified when the context is initialized and destroyed, and you have the opportunity to start and stop your background process. I think, though, that you're officially discouraged from starting additional threads... at least that's the impression I've always gotten. I looked in the specification, and found that containers are allowed to restrict you from creating Thread objects, (Servlet 2.3, SRV.1.2) though I don't think Tomcat does. -- Wendy Smoak --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
