Hi, I have to implement a process that always keeps running in background, forever. I want to know if the way I'm implementing it is the most "seamish" way to do it. The process will have to access an EntityManager:

@Name("messageReceiver")
@Scope(ScopeType.APPLICATION)
@Startup
public class MessageReceiver implements Runnable {
    private Thread thread;

    public MessageReceiver() {
        thread = new Thread(this);
        thread.run();
    }

    @Override
    public void run() {
        // do my stuff forever
    }
}

It is not important for this question I think, but if it matters, I want to implement a JMS receiver (I dont like te way Seam JMS module is implemented because it uses polling, and I want an always living connection for better time responses).

Thanks a lot!!
