Do yourself a favor and:

a) Don't do this
b) If you have to do it, do it in a servlet, not a JSP
c) Limit the number of concurrent requests that are allowed to execute
this child process
d) Don't forget to flush/consume all your child-process's streams

If you don't do (d), you'll probably bring your server to a halt
unless nobody ever triggers this particular feature.
