Like say for example you want to have your app do some auto-archiving of old data on a regular basis or something like that? Thanks, Jeff __ Do You Yahoo!? Great stuff seeking new owners in Yahoo!

Re: Scheduled Process servlet: possible?
Probably best to use a java.util.Timer code snippet Timer t = new Timer(); t.schedule(Task,Date,INTERVAL) // Task is an object that inplements java.util.TimerTask // Date object is the time to first run // Interval is howmany milli's between execution for more info read Java 2 API docs is encouraged and neccarcary... hope this helps Alec 29/01/2002 21:21:18, Jeff Corliss [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi all, Is it possible to have a servlet's service method auto-invoked on a scheduled basis by its container?
