Threads of Control

[micael]

Can a servlet start an application on a server which is available to a user on the server machine? Something, i.e., like the following:

import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
import javax.servlet.*;
import javax.servlet.http.*;

public class AppCtrl extends HttpServlet implements Runnable {
private boolean change;
private Thread ctrl;
private App [] app;

public void init() throws ServletException() {
ctrl = new Thread(this);
ctrl.setPriority(Thread.MIN_PRIORITY);
ctrl.start();
}

public void run() {
while(true) {
if(AppProps.change()) {
app = AppProps.changes();
for(int i = 0; i < app.length; i++) {
AppManager.implementChange(app[i]);
try {
ctrl.sleep(200); // .2 second break between changes.
} catch (InterruptedException ignored) {
}
}
}
}
}
}
