We wanted to reuse our business java code for our batch runs so we implemented a cron job with issued a lynx command such as lynx http://webxx/servlet/batch?batch=2&date=05/13/04. We run our production environment in linux so lynx was available by default.

Sasha,
If you are used to unix cron and the format of crontabs, then you might also want to have a look at JCronTab (http://jcrontab.sourceforge.net/), which is supposed to work pretty well with Tomcat (have a look at the first FAQ entry...).

I'm wondering what people are doing to schedule/execute tasks in Tomcat...
Is there any built-in timing services in Tomcat? Are people using external operating system tools like cron to invoke a class, or hit a servlet?
Is anyone using a good 3rd party scheduling framework?
Or is this kind of stuff home-grown right now (java.util.Timer, etc.)? If you've got your own timer, where do you initialize it (like in a servlet's init() or a context listener)?
Thank you,
