It is OK for web applications to start threads -- as long as the web
application cleans up after itself when the application is shut down (the
easiest way to detect that is to create a ServletContextListener and wait
for the contextDestroyed() method of your listener to be called).
The JVM running Tomcat shuts down when all non-daemon threads have been
killed. Tomcat properly cleans up all the threads that *it* creates -- it
is up to your application to do the same.
