I had to do a similar kind of operation which involved running a JSP or servlet
at midnight everyday , i could'nt figure out a simpler way to do , so I ended up
converting the JSP to a stand alone JAVA application , since the process did not
involve human intervention it was ok to convert all the functionality into a
java app , without losing anything.
I then configured the NT scheduler to run the java app at a specified time
with the needed arguments. The java app produced a log file that can be stored
at a specific location so that its available on the net , doing so enables any
other person or dependent application to share the output.

Krishnan,
Why don't you just convert the servlet into a Java application and set up
a cron job (Unix) to run it at the appropriate time?

Hi pals,
We have to run a servlet or JSP automatically on saturday night at 12. We
are planning to write a servlet and in the init method of that servlet,
planning to invoke a thread which checks for the specified time and if
satisfies, do the necessary operations. We will load that servlet at startup
of the server. I want to know, is there is any other possible way of
achieving the same.
Your replies are highly appreciated.
