Can a background process run under an appserver

[Buddika]

Can you deploy an application to run inside appserver environment for a extended
period without client interaction (i.e. in back ground).

Can you add new services (e.g. a Scheduler) in to an AppServer.

I'm trying to port an standalone background program, to utilize all the good
stuff that an App server provides.

Thanks in Advance

Short answer : YES

Long Answer :

To implemenmt a scheduler you may need to have an interface...more specifically
if you are using a Java app server an interface with a JNDI name.

The simplest form of a scheduler is a JMS Server app with other apps having
a JMS connection to this server.

Cheers!!
