Hi Folks, I recently came to know that application threads are not recommended on J2EE/Servlet engine environments. How ever, there could be many applications, components which need to reside on servlet engine or a J2EE container but still need to spawn their own threads (contradictory needs ).
What is your take on this? I have posted it on certain forums. But did not get many positive responses. Please see my posting and one response on IBM developer works in this URL : http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/forums/dw_thread.jsp?forum=244&thr ead=83882&cat=10 I also thought of an idea: I want to start an open source project to implement the JSR for "Timer and Work Manager for Application Servers" (http://dev2dev.bea.com/wlplatform/commonj/twm.html ) Question to you folks would be. If I successfully build and release this component under Apache license, would be guys be interested to integrate? Hoping to get some early and positive responses to my mail.
