Am I missing the boat here? Is there no good way to do this? If there is a particular methodology, please enlighten me.

I'm working on jsp based registration system where after submitting the registration form, the application then inserts a row in a table that contains the date it was created as well as an ID. What I'd like to do is have <something> running that sleeps for 5 minutes at a time and then checks to see if 24 hours have passed since the row was inserted (and if so, delete it). Is there a way to start up a class with my web app?
