You say "calendar-based", but the original poster only asked for "sending a Batch email functionality every two hours".  Regardless, the original scheduler in JBoss, which is still in the 3.x series at /varia/src/main/org/jboss/varia/scheduler/Scheduler.java, supports periodic notifications, where of course you identify the periodicity.  You can also specify a start date.  This should be enough to satisfy the original request.  Note, however, that Andreas added a much more robust scheduler.  This is what the *Provider classes are for.

I mentioned "quartz" because he mentioned "cron".  Just curious, which JBoss scheduler will allow for cron-type recurring calendar-based triggers to be fired off?

JBoss has scheduler (two, actually).  They will both work for this application.  Don't understand why you are calling a URL to send an email.  JBoss has a mail service, why not just invoke that to send the email?  What is the URL doing for you?

Subject: [JBoss-user] Asking about Schedular Servlet in JBoss

Hi all,
 
I was deploying my application under JRun 3.1 Web server, and I was using the "allaire.jrun.scheduler.CronService" servlet class that comes with JRun library, this servlet works as a schedular to call a URL every part of time that you specify, (I was using it, to control sending a Batch email functionality every two hours).
 
So, any one know a substitute in JBoss that could help me to get the same functionality as JRun servlet class.
 
Quick help is very thanked.
