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.
