Does Apache SOAP allow a java class (Web service) to launch secondary threads ?

Hi all,

I have a java class deployed in the Tomcat 
server which is exposed to java clients through 
Apache SOAP 2.1.
>From one of the methods exposed by the Web 
Service called startWatch(), i spawn a thread
that does dome backgound taska periodically.
All is well and the SOAP method call suceeds,
the thread starts and keeps looping at periodic
intervals of 30 seconds. But after the fifth 
loop or so (not consistent could be 10th loop ...
etc.), it just dies.
I would assume that the thread should live 
forever eventhough the SOAP method call exited.
So here is my question :

Does Apache SOAP deactivate the Java Class that
is exposed after a certain time interval even
though there are secondary background 
threads running in it.

TIA,
Rahul
