Persistance Queue Implementation

I was reading an article on Batch Processing in java over at JDJ http://java.sys-con.com/node/415321 .

The author doesn't give a concrete example of this concept so I googled Persistence Queue ...

Is there anything wrong with taking immediate actions in constructors?

I have classes like this one: class SomeObject { public function __construct($param1, $param2) { $this->process($param1, $param2); } ... } So I can instantly "call" it as some sort of global function just like new SomeObject($arg1, $arg2); which has the benefits of staying concise, being easy to understand,...
