I wrote a simple soap server as below

NS = ‘[http://Test.com/Test](http://Test.com/Test)’;  
class Server \< SOAP::RPC::StandaloneServer  
def on\_init  
t = TestClass.new  
add\_method(t, ‘echo’)  
end  
end  
svr = Server.new(‘TEST’,NS,‘0.0.0.0’,12321)  
trap(‘INT’) {svr.shutdown}  
svr.start

it can run without problem. However if I run the same piece of code in  
a thread, it will not work

Thread.new do

#same code here

end  
#wait for the thread

I think the server does not start because the listening port I  
specified is not occupied by any application. Does anyone know what  
the problem is?
