It's also a good idea to use the Timer(boolean) constructor to create the
associated thread as a daemon. The default constructor doesn't do this.
Quoting Sexton, George [EMAIL PROTECTED]:
Register a context listener and free the timer in it.

Subject: Using Non-Servlet Timers (Was - I need to run a servlet
periodically)
Hello,
We are using java.util.Timer objects to periodically run through a few
object caches and get rid of stale items. Everything works fine. However, I
can no longer stop Tomcat using the Catalina.bat stop command. I suspect
that the Timer objects are still alive and are the cause of the problem.
Any
ideas on how to fix this ?
The objects we schedule via the timers are not Servlets. They are plain
vanilla Java classes.
Regards,
Gautam Satpathy

Hi Filip,
Your servlet can call a class (doesn't have to be a servlet) that sets up a
java.util.timer to run your code as a timerTask. The servlet can get
parameters from the web.xml file (like how often to execute) and pass that
to your class that controls the timer.
The servlet can pass your class the connection pool info and other needed
session info.

What you really need to do is to design your periodical servlet to
implement
Runnable. Add another servlet that starts the periodical servlet and load
that servlet during startup. The periodical then does its thing and
sleeps
for x amount of time. Then wakes up and so on...

Amne: Re: I need to run a servlet periodically
To need the servlet run periodically you need a client calling the
servlet periodically. Make your client to run periodically and it will
cause the servlet to run.
We can suggest you a solution if you let us know what exactly you want
your servlet to do.

Hello,
is it possible to have a servlet in Tomcat container
which is invoked automatically each gived time period?
[e.g. each 10 minutes] And I would also need this
special servlet to access other resources of my web
application [connection pool, ...].
Thanks.
