hey,

theres no ultimatley easy way.. but thank duke for inner classes.. so you
can..

                        new Thread () {
                                public void run () {
                                        boolean warren_rulz = true;
                                        do {
                                                try {
                                                        sleep (5 * 60 *
1000);
                                                } catch (Exception e) {
                                                } 
                                                System.out.println ("warren
rulz " + warren_rulz );
                                        } while (warren_rulz == true);
                                } 
                        }.start ();


sorry about the ego code..  but its actually from a production codebase.

Subject: simple way to spawn new threads in jsp?


is there a special mechanism to execute a sequence of tasks on a new
thread in Tomcat or do i have to do it the old fashioned way, creating a
class that spawns a new thread to do those tasks and referencing it in
the jsp?

thanks!
