Threading in an Application Server

I have a Java program/thread that I want to deploy into an Application Server (GlassFish). The thread should run as a "service" that starts when the Application Server starts and stops when the Application Server closes.

How would I go about doing this? It's not really a Session Bean or MDB. It's just a thread.

Solution

  • Check out the LifecycleListener interface:
