Jay:
To
your first question: The advanced java list is a good place for general java
topics. It's at
As far as timers, I've done this in my companies open-source project, the Expresso Framework. You can get a copy of the code at http://www.javacorporate.com, and the object you're looking for is com.javacorporate.common.server.TimerServer. It does a "sleep for while, check a job queue" loop in the "checkQueue" method that you might find useful.
Hope that helps!

Subject: TimersA bit off topic again (can someone recommend a good [perhaps sun] mailing list for more generic, everyday java questions?) ...
I have an object running in a process in a JVM. I want this object to go check sonething, say every X minutes. What is a good way to implement this timer?
Thanks in advance.
