Threads under axis

[Ian Wootten <I....@cs.cardiff.ac.uk>]

Hi there,

I was wondering if somebody could help me out with a simple thread 
problem I'm facing when my class is deployed. My class (a simple log4j 
app) logs the environment variables to one file and issues a memory 
monitoring thread in the background. I'm finding that the memory thread 
doesn't seem to be running at all when deployed, but works fine when run 
as a standalone program. Even if I run a Thread.sleep(10000) command in 
the main body of my code, it returns the string returned by my main 
service method immediately...

Am I missing something, are the threads run differently under axis?

Thanks,

Ian
