Use SuperScheduler from http://www.acelet.com. It is for J2ee fully supporting distributed computing. You can run schedule on any node of your network at ant time.
Now, about your algorithm: You can simply run job A. Job A checks if data is available, if yes, do it, if no, simply exit. --- Sunder Rajan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi Everyone, > I have a general question on J2EE scheduling.
