Hi, I have a set of Jess rules which connects to a MySQL DB and at the moment I run this via a .java file that creates a Rete engine and does what you would expect. Now I need to deploy it so that it can run on a web server so I was going to embed it in either a servlet or a .jsp page but my question is how can I schedule this so that it runs automatically (e.g. the first day of every month)? I thought about cron jobs to schedule the visiting of the url of the servlet/jsp page but I believe it only works for CGI/PHP scripts. I'm at a bit of loss because the running of the Jess rules has to be automatic and can't simple reside on a computer but without this functionality my system wouldn't be much use if you had to run the Jess rules yourself or leave your PC on 365/24/7. And is the servlet/jsp necessary as it will give no output to the user nor needs any input but just runs a set of rules in the background which either fire thus executing a userfunction I've defined or doesn't fire, but I can see no other option to be able to run the Jess rules online. Thanks in advance and I'm open to any suggestions. Regards.
