Is it against the servlet specification to create threads from inside a servlet ?
I am using java.util.Timer & java.util.TimerTask to initiate some background work (sending email) from a servlet. The java.util.Timer class implicitly creates a background thread. Right now this is working fine but I wonder if I am going to run into trouble with future versions of tomcat. If creating threads is against the spec. is there a recommended way of performing background tasks. -- To unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Troubles with the list: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
