Hello,
If u r familiar with JMX, there is a Timer service
That does exactly what you want (emit notifications at certain
Interval)....

Subject: Re: [OT] Best practice for background service
Jan,
Bryan's recommendation of Spring and Quartz sounds good though I have
not had a chance to work with these yet. If you want to "roll your own"
I suggest you look at the java.util.Timer and java.util.TimerTask
objects -- they work well for these type of services. See
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/util/TimerTask.html.
