I’m new to web services. For the last few days I’ve been trying to figure out how to create a WAR file that I can deploy within Glassfish that when deployed starts a process (that contains an endless loop – this process must be running at all times). The web methods query the object that is running the process.
I’ve tried creating a separate thread to run the process within the constructor of the SIB but Glassfish spits this back out and shuts down when I attempt to deploy it.
How do I solve this problem? Any help will be greatly appreciated!
Following is an example of what I mean
public class SomeProcess implements Runnable
{
private State state;
public void run()
{
while(true)
{
//update state
}
}
public State getState(){return state;}
}
@WebService
public class ProcessServer
{
/* I need the run() method of this object to start running when the web service starts*/
private SomeProcess someProcess;
public void ProcessServer()
{
/* Glassfish isn't happy about doing this!*/
Thread processThread = new Thread(someProcess);
processThread.start();
}
@WebMethod
public State GetState()
{
return someProcess.getState();
}
}
