I still need opinions on the thing in the topic: a concurrent, persistent background process in a J2EE container.

I have used Quartz, but it is Open Source, which my boss does not want.

My idea was a logmanager-servlet, which creates a Thread in its init(). Is this idea good or bad, and why?

It is always a bad idea to create threads within the container.

EJB containers have had a timer service since EJB 2.1 - use
the one that comes with your app server.

It is very likely not as good as Quartz, but with that boss
of yours then ...
