First of all, there
is an option to load a servlet at startup so that you don't need to wait for the
first request comes in.
Secondly I prefer
this way better. You could create a separate ejb client application to
start your timer daemon thread and package with your ear file. Then
configure your orion-application.xml to start your embeded ejb application at
start-up.

Subject: RE: How to set orion to perform a timely task..Could you explain me the servlet solution with a Timer, please ?
The point that I do not undestand is following:
On one hand, the servlet cannot stay loaded forever, probably the server will detect and unload unused servlets.
On the other hand, in order to activate a servlet, the server has to receive an HTTP request to the tcp/ip port that server is listening to, therefore the Timer should implemente a tcp/ip socket.So, how can I wake up my servlet without having to write a socket ?
Thanks for explanations,
Yves Bossel
