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 > -----Original Message----- > From: Cato, Christopher [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Wednesday, October 09, 2002 3:04 PM > To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' > Subject: SV: I need to run a servlet periodically > > > What you really need to do is to design your periodical > servlet to implement > Runnable.
