This is also totally irrelevant to a Servlet Forum. Asking Java related
questions and tagging on 'from a servlet' is wasting bandwidth. Im sure there
are many excellent Java forums out there. Asking about things like
DB connectivity and Applets is fine but pure Java questions is too much.
Anyway :-
Can you not just keep the program running all the time and simply check the
time? When a certain time comes send the mails. I realise this is somewhat
inefficient but if it was implemented like (pseudocode):
while(true)
{
check time
if time is specified time (e.g. 13.00)
{
// check db
// send mails
}
else
{
sleep for 30 mins
}
}
You could change the resolution from 30 mins to 5 mins if necessary but it
wouldnt be too inefficient and would be nice and easy to implement.
