On windows the best way to do it is to create a batch file that runs the
class with code similar to the way you would run any java (FYI - I doesn't
have to have anything to do with Servlets for DB connections. That is part
of the core Java API).
By using a batch file you wont need to have the VM running all the time.
if(exceptions && !your production VM)
Log them and call System.exit(1).
else
call System.exit(0)
<the-code>
cd <% drive-letter %>:\<% directory where you class is %>
java <% class name %>
</the-code>
<alternative-code>
java <% drive-letter %>:\<% directory where you class is %>\<% class name %>
</alternative-code>
Then create the scheuled task with the wizard:
Settings --> Control Panel --> Scheduled Tasks
Select the batch file you want to schedule and the time to run it.
May need a few tweaks.
Good luck,
Burkeman
