Sounds to me like you want to write a daemon process running in a separate JVM from Tomcat. To achieve communication with JSP's and servlets, you could use TCP and make it listen on an obscure port. Your servlets and/or JSP's could open a socket on that port and communicate using whatever custom protocol you wanted to devise. Or maybe it would be easier to use RMI, which is just doing the same thing under the covers.

Now, I just need to know how to create a java application/servlet running in the background of Tomcat that JSPs or servlets can talk to.
