Hi Filip,

i think this it is a bad idea, to invoke 
a (Runnable) servlet via start().

In what state will be the servlet context, 
what about the ServletRequest or the log()
method for example ? 
I think the result will depend on server implementation
details, but it is very likely to get IllegalStateExceptions
at least.

As already being said:
a) If you need servlet functionality periodically 
   let a cron job do servlet requests periodically 
b) If you don't need servlet functionality
   just let a cron job do the job

Greetings
Wolfgang Stein
