I like it when someone says 'do not do this' without some supporting cost/benefit rationale.
My next question is why not ? I'll add my own salt here: - Daemonizing does not alter business logic, it can be kept separate using more than one entry point - Supervisory functions are not as generic as some may think. You may have a need to support extra stuff in daemon mode that may/may not be offered by your platform supervisor - Portability might be an issue which is easier to deal with within the JVM than having to cope with different platform specific supervisors As to the why not, I am eager to see them. In general your mileage will vary depending on your needs. This is the real answer to many of the 'do not do this' so named 'rules'. Luc P.
