If you are going to do things periodically, then the place to kick-off the thread is in a ServletContextListener and not in a servlet. > Why would using a ServletContextListener be better than using a > servlet? Because that's the most appropriate place to do it: servlets can be started and stopped, started multiple times, run in parallel, etc. -- however the container wants to do things. ServletContextListeners are well-defined to only be called on startup and shutdown. - -chris -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG/MacGPG2 v2.0.17 (Darwin) Comment: GPGTools - http://gpgtools.org Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAk+6myQACgkQ9CaO5/Lv0PCIWgCePuqidEy+iLnmzQTF5bNvJlBJ ffIAoKvQ8Xp2v15Q7Xia9i1qlCmA2jWl =kA23 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
