start new thread from servlet?

[Phillip Rhodes]

Sorry, I searched and searched for four hours all over the place and have not found a definitive how-to or example.
Sorry if this is off-topic...

In my servlet, I will be running long reports. I want to kick off a new thread that will run the report.
I read somewhere that I have to join my new thread to the thread of my servlet to avoid problems.

Can anyone point me to a how-to on this?
Thanks!

Phillip
