GWT Server side entry point

I followed these instructions http://code.google.com/webtoolkit/usingeclipse.html

There appears to be no entry point function for the server? How do I run background threads or code not related to the rpc services that the server exports?

For example, what if some embedded database needs to be updated every 5 minutes. So then a background thread would fetch this new data to do the updating
