RE: scheduler servlet

["Nedim Colic" <nedim@yahoo.com>]

Why does it have to be a servlet? Servlets are transient by their nature and
making a scheduler out of one is not impossible but it's not natural. You
could just write a small application that uses java.util.TimerTask and
schedule it to run whatever you want. Or if it's that important, make a
singleton class that will run inside web server and use TimerTask to
schedule events.

Subject: scheduler servlet


I need some hints here.
In the cold fusion, we are able to set up a task
running on schedule, such as running this task
midnight every day. I am asking if there is any way to
build a java servlet to make a jsp page running on
schedule.
I am using the jrun3.1/Unix and I check the knowledge
base on the Macromedia site. I could not make the
servlet work according to the way they suggest on
article 21708 and 22440.
The error I got is "no such servlet".
Could anyone give me some suggestions on it?

Thanks for help.

Kathy
