Hi Dave, You can just create any class that extends the Thread object or implements the runnable interface. The required method, run(), should abstract what u want to do, (connect to the 3rd party server). Instantiate that class then call its start() method from the Struts action that should trigger it. Your action should finish safely without waiting for that thread to finish. Note: this is just a bare implementation, you might want to consider using thread pooling to manage your resources. What exactly do you intend to do? Will you wait for a response from your HTTPS server?
