Own Threads within TC ?

["Lauer, Oliver" <Ol...@AXA.de>]

Hi, 

I know within an EJB container you mustn't use threads although in some you
can either. How is that topic related to TC. 
I know I can use threads within TC but what does the spec. says about
threads ? I want to start some within a servlet's init() and stop those
using the destroy() method. 

Is that ok and allowed as well ? 

Thanks
Oliver

Tomcat itself doesn't stop you from doing this (unless you run under a
security manager with a policy that prohibits thread creation).  A couple
of things to keep in mind:

* Threads should normally be created as daemon threads
  (thread.setDaemon(true) after creation).  Otherwise,
  Tomcat will hang forever at shutdown time unless your
  code correctly cleans up the threads it created.

* It is not valid to keep a reference to objects provided
  by the container (HttpServletRequest, HttpServletResponse)
  beyond the scope of a particular call to the service()
  method of your servlet.  You'll need to copy everything
  you need out of these objects before the servlet call
  finishes.
