HI Aswath:
In your scenario you can use any one of following two solutions:
- Run a thread in servlet and keep giving to hits to database after
particular time period
but this is going to increase no. of hits on DB and load on server
running servlet, and unnessary network bandwidth consumption.
- If your database (Oracle) allow Loading a class file than you can call
this class file from a trigger which should get fired when there is any
updates in DB, and on update this class file will call servlet and let him
know abt changes accordingly
Cheers
