you can create threads in tomcat. It's not recommended unless you know what you are doing, but you can.
It seems that you are right... and not :-) You can create threads in a servlet container, but it is not portable. As stated in Servlet 2.4 specification, section SRV.9.11: <snip> This type ofservlet container should support this behavior when performed on threads created by the developer, but are not currently required to do so. Such a requirement will be added in the next version of this specification. Developers are cautioned that depending on this capability for application-created threads is not recommended, as it is non-portable. </snip> Antonio
