Ciao a tutti,
			

			I've got a problem with TOMCAT...
			

			I'm developing a J2ME MIDlet that connects via HTTP to a
			

			Servlet running in TOMCAT and I want to start a thread
			

			inizialized with parameter passed by J2ME client.
			

			The execution of the thread must go on after the http
			

			response of the Servlet...
			

			My question is: if the thread is created by the servlet's
			

			method 'processRequest',will its execution go on after the
			

			termination of the method? Or will it remain orphan and the
			

			execution will be stopped?
			

			In other words, if I write in the method processRequest:
			

			

			AlertThread al = new AlertThread(...);
			

			al.start();
			

			

			the execution of the thread will go on after the http
			

			response of the servlet to the J2ME client?
			

			I was wondering if the problem could be solved creating a
			

			class called 'AlertManager',having a 'startThread' method
			

			which contains the instructions:
			

			AlertThread al = new AlertThread(...);
			

			al.start();
			

			setting an AlertManager object as a member variable of the
			

			Servlet,to be sure that the object is preserved during the
			

			whole servlet's life-cycle.
			

			Is it correct?
			

			In this way, does the end of the execution of the
			

			method 'processRequest' leave the thread orphan?
			

			

			Thanx in advance,
			

			Edo
