Regardless of the presence or absence of such a requirement in any J2EE-related specification, it doesn't change the fact that creating your own threads inside of a server application - whether it be within an EJB or a servlet or whatever - is risky business. If you're not careful, you can starve your own application of resources and open your application up to a trivially-exploitable DOS hole. Some techniques for responsibly performing asynchronous work are: 1. Use TimerTask 2. Use Executors in java.util.concurrent 3. Use Quartz (note that some versions of Quartz have a resource leak upon webapp shutdown) 4. Use a database/whatever as a queue and run an out-of-process notification program (my personal favorite) - -chris -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAkxyzjoACgkQ9CaO5/Lv0PDghgCfbOusWE/C+FRVrhYsXOMbobIc T/kAniflWhvYSYgkoxq2Vq8vi+UxMr5l =r8qO -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
