Hi there,

There is a case that i need to define a thread in the OSGI bundle. This thread auto-running at the background, but how to active and start this thread?

Is there any specif solution for that?

Thanks a lot.

Can you give little background what that thread would be doing ?   Scheduler should work for most cases http://sling.apache.org/documentation/bundles/scheduler-service-commons-scheduler.html

Hi Sham,

The thread just used to invoke an webservice and to check tasks if completed. If true, this application will pull a remote file from a server.

Using scheduler or sling jobs or http://docs.adobe.com/docs/en/aem/6-0/develop/ref/javadoc/com/day/cq/workflow/exec/WorkflowExternalP... should suffice your requirement
