UDP Server

[elponderador]

I was just wondering what the recommendation would be for one to implement his own UDP server in JBoss for interaction with legacy systems.

I want it to be a singleton, maybe a JBoss @Service or something like that. I seem to be able to do so as long as I split off my own thread that will actually listen on the socket... is this the best way to do so? Is splitting off an application thread the best way or is there a more standards approach to this type of thing?

You can leverage a jboss supplied thread pool:

Or go crazy and create a JCA rar. See the resources section here:
