How Run Bean in Background?

[brighama]

I have a web application running Jetty + Spring, and I need a process to be continously running in the background.

I also need to be able to communicate with the background process to get its status and display it on a web page.

Does anyone know how to create a background-running bean in Spring?

Many Thanks!
Brigham

So you want to run a background thread? What's the problem?
