based. It would seem to me you could write a standard Java application to
create the file when it is executed, and then schedule when it is run with the
standard job scheduling facilities of your underlying operating system
("crontab" for Unix systems, or whatever the equivalent is for NT).
If the file generator really needs to be a servlet for some reason, you can
still accomplish your goal by writing a simple Java client application that
uses a URLConnection to invoke your servlet. Schedule this client application
to run every thirty minutes using the job scheduling facilities of your OS.
