Hello,

Because WebDynpro is meant to be an user interface building technology, i suppose there is no way to run a WebDynpro app in background.

If you want to have a J2EE application running in background you have two choices

1) Implement a EJB performing the requested operation, and create a servlet that creates a Java Thread responsible for executing this EJB periodically in it's initialization method and mark that servlet to "load on startup" in the web.xml

2) Implement a EJB and wait for SP12. On SDN Meets Labs some SAP guy promised that SP12 will contain a tool able to control jobs for both ABAP and Java stacks.
