Answer 1

If you're using a scheduled executor, you can provide a ThreadFactory. This is used to create new Threads, and you can modify these (e.g. make them daemon) as you require.

EDIT: To answer your update, your ThreadFactory just needs to implement newThread(Runnable r) since your WebRunnable is a Runnable. So no real extra work.
