Well, I'm no expert on this, but I've been planning to look into this
for a while now, and maybe build the ideal firewall Java viewer;-) I
guess the techiniques are pretty standard.
This discusses them in some detail, and has the Java-utils ready made:

I remember there's also some coding examples on Suns Java site, on the
subject of thread pools, if I'm not mistaken. I'd have to look it up.
I don't think we want Java on the server-side though.
Also check out:

Maybe we, and Jonathan? can collaborate on this...

Harmen.
