Re: [Q] Is it safe to create threads in Tomcat web-apps?

[Tim Funk]

Tomcat doesn't provide this but other simple solutions exist such as exposing 
a URL and using cron + wget. (Some may also say kludge too)

As for aggregating statistics - I would recommend using a log file to record 
the essential measurements then running your stats program on the logs. This 
way - tomcat can crash (or other strange occurences may occur) and you lose 
no data. If the data is already logged, then the first solution (cron + wget) 
will work well too.

that.
Does Tomcat provide some sort of ActionEvent which you
can configure to be fired every x milliseconds?
