Creating a service that runs in Servlet or J2EE container

I'd like to create a service/daemon type of application that, after being
started, communicates with other applications via TCP. Is it possible to
deploy such an application to run in a Servlet or J2EE container?

thanks

I'd say the a J2EE/Servlet container would be overkill for a simple TCP
listener. You'd be better off just writing your app to listen and then run it on
your host server.

If you need to you could run it as a service (on windows at any rate) as well.
