Answer 1

Or you can delay creating the thread with Timer and TimerTask:

public void contextInitialized() {
    // Do your startup work here
    System.out.println("Started....");

    Timer timer = new Timer();

    TimerTask delayedThreadStartTask = new TimerTask() {
        @Override
        public void run() {

            //captureCDRProcess();
            //moved to TimerTask
            new Thread(new Runnable() {
                @Override
                public void run() {

                    captureCDRProcess();
                }
            }).start();
        }
    };

    timer.schedule(delayedThreadStartTask, 60 * 1000); //1 minute
}
