Actually this isn't true. If you have a jboss for example and using giop, and create a new remote reference to a session bean, that you will implicitely start a new thread (or a thread pool), because jacorb uses separate thread pool for each connection. And besides that, as long as you _know_ what you are doing, you can also start threads in actions, for example we are starting a separate connection thread for a ssl connection to another webserver (payment provider) allowing the current thread to be released and serve another customer, during the request is being proceeded. The customer is then moved back to the page, and gets the previously stored result showed, but the resource is free in the mean time (and threads are VERY valuable under woody).
