If servelt just needs to do what you said, it is not necessary to be a
servlet. It can just be a normal application. You can use sleep to control
the interval.
If it has to be a servelt(I don't see any reason), you can use a small
script(such as telnet to port 80 or whatever) to invoke servelt periodically.
Or even "silly", prepare a html with refresh option to access your servlet.
Keep the html file alive in any browser. It will automatically refresh
current page thus it invokes the servlets.
good luck,
