I need a thread in Web/JavaEE container to fetch information from an external source

  • 0

I need a thread in Web/JavaEE container to fetch information from an external source and complete corresponding AsyncContext objs in same JVM.

I wish to have a zero-added-latency solution, so periodic polling or a timer is ruled out.

I could start a thread but I believe it is frowned upon in a Web container and not portable. Q1. Is it possible to run a thread portably in a Java EE container instead?

Q2. If I want to run a thread in a Web Container anyway, what is the “least of all evil” ways? InitializeContext? ExecutorService? Thread.run?

Thanks!

    AsyncContext.html#start is probably the closest you can get.
