Servlet which executes itself after a certain time

[plsHelpMe]

Hi All,

I want to a servlet which will execute after every 24 hours to do some processing. Can anybody suggest me any best solution. I am using struts framework v 1.1

TIA

Why do you want a Servlet to execute periodically? What Servlet specific method
do you want to execute and what should the parameter values be? Why not fire
up an POJO (Plain Old Java Object) periodically using a simple Timer and a
TimerTask?

kind regards,

Jos

Earlier i was planning to code a servlet whose service method would be called every day automatically.. ..but i am not sure how to go for it.

That's nice. Why not considering "Quartz" which helps you do the same task?

Try looking at the URL here http://www.opensymphon y.com/quartz/
