I saw on the roadmap that they want to implement something like this using background task servers, in which you can submit your tasks to a background server without the time limitations. It's not clear if they would allow multiple threads, but that's probably a mute point.

The following structure is something that would be awesome: - Ability to start / control child threads in the app - Definitely, an upper cap on the maximum count - May be an upper limit on the time duration for which the thread can run - And the fundoo stuff... ability to enlist and terminate threads from the dashboard (may be this is too much of an ask) I understand there are several tough tasks related to managing them at the server end because they may run on any of the servers in the cloud... but nevertheless, it is doable... at least by G-Gang :) -- Happy Hacking, Gaurav Vaish http://www.mastergaurav.com -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
