I would suggest doing the scheduling outside of the Orion App server.. Less
code and more reliability. Try cron in Unix or at in NT.

Subject: How to handle scheduled tasks?
I am trying to decide how I should handle scheduled tasks in my
applications under Orion. I have to do things like send out montly
e-mails to registered users, expire old content every 90 days and such.
I originally did this as a servlet that created a Thread but I was
uncomfortable with it. I am currently doing it completely seperate
from my application as a stand alone application but this is not
ideal as it makes portability of applications difficult. I am currently
looking into using EJBs for the task, but they don't quite fit
either. Any ideas or experience on this one? Thanks.
