I like your idea of keeping the functionality within your application. This way if you switch servers, it's one less headache to contend with. I suppose you could start up a couple of entity beans on deployment and let them sleep until they run their maintenance routines. -Vince
Re: How to handle scheduled tasks?
why not look into java.util.Timer and java.util.TimerTask in JDK 1.3? Look quite handy to me.. -Original Message- From: Patrick Lacson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Orion-Interest <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Samstag, 26.

RE: How to handle scheduled tasks?
I would suggest doing the scheduling outside of the Orion App server.. Less code and more reliability. Try cron in Unix or at in NT. -P -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Jason von Nieda Sent: Friday, August 25, 2000 8:08 AM To: Orion-Interest Subject: How to handle scheduled tasks? I am trying to decide how I should handle scheduled tasks in my applications under Orion. I have to do things like send out montly e-mails to registered users, expire old content every 90 days and such. I originally did this as a servlet that created a Thread but I was uncomfortable with it. I am currently doing it completely seperate from my application as a stand alone application but this is not ideal as it makes portability of applications difficult. I am currently looking into using EJBs for the task, but they don't quite fit either. Any ideas or experience on this one? Thanks.
