it is not correct that components running in an j2ee environment are
generally not permitted to create and manage their own threads. When
only running a servlet container I usually create an AGIServerThread on
startup using the <listener> element in web.xml and I am not aware of
any section of the servlet spec that prohibits that. What indeed is
prohibited is to spawn threads in your EJBs. But there is no need to do
so when using Asterisk-Java.

A servlet usually speaks HTTP and follows a request/response semantic
where FastAGI uses a proprietary protocol and requires a dedicated TCP
connection per session. I don't think both have that much in common that
it would be an easy way to go.
