I am using background thread with Seam (for sending emails). I read documentation but not finding what I was looking for. The background thread wakes up every few minutes and I want to select something from database (hibernate). I want to use something similar to ContextFilter, but allow calling from my code. At this time I am using Lifecycle.beginCall(); but it is not working at all. How should I do that? View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4031725#...
