Another way to do this would be to use the Quartz Scheduling API (http://www.opensymphony.com/quartz/ ), and to use the JDBC Job Store.

We use this extensively in our applications to handle this scenario.

I have a scenario where I need my application to periodically fire off background batch tasks in a separate thread, but only need one of the possible instances to perform this task at any given interval. What technique do people normally use with WO to perform this sort of election/locking between instances so that only one of them at a time ever attempts to do the work?
