That amounts to rolling-your-own. If you just need to do something on a rough schedule, then java.util.concurrent is fine: start a thread that does something every 10 minutes or whatever. If you want real scheduling, you want something like Quartz: http://quartz-scheduler.org/ I would argue that there are better solutions than using Quartz from within your own web application, but it depends upon your perspective. - -chris -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1 Comment: GPGTools - http://gpgtools.org iQIcBAEBCAAGBQJU3icEAAoJEBzwKT+lPKRY9bIP/ilEoImpKncX82WU+SqgQQgP zUhUTP0x+bntXNpouuxbb1NOhHKH6d7l0p2WKkQRoKf2qxJzxYhEnAiBELCI7CQF 02OrXnzl4VmatgVgd5Aom/7QIzhLArLKNosGwIS8d/BbssPcZS6plBTU70VS8C7D I+QON7RW3veJG9SFFA5sKrGhlgFuDUTbrLcz/oZeZ2xdbg4s2htAH9B+XNz5Gbvv NKESUASPTGzYCSwZhgwIVoxZZavdkCwVvSJIEyPDlGwMDrBkYdSg/GbctyHA8Mny METMmlN9Q29mEc6/VNSv6B+XtqUWCPud0WAPZm6rIso7NaV/ScY+/L19lzvLOn1a SvwYavQ8bdGWb+w5xIcnsnZkLknwaDJoYMerquwnCxsPqaAdBygdku8OuvA8PxT4 eIlUCOoT5GjxWTEX+HIWBvyx2KXTM8EScYdyXCuGtxnKcpexYaXBJQ2GhNc4EHym T3JiLu/fAIu4TWyI6oM64YLMfJfNk49gNtPCjWfRluG4qqKQ3YqjQubf8FIe/vOe y1wXzC/7KtV1urLDL74mLTjGpihiig3e9CRa7MWK354K/WoSlgbkze/Ac1df40g+ Zq1MpgnGQmjgvG16FGujeL5U+QlwFTXYNAqXKsP0++FJJ9DEhkQM8c0yYlDplOYZ xFKob5fnVsgVj1flZH4N =aLoS -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
