Since EJB 2.1 and in EJB 3.0 there is a J2EE standard way named timer service:
http://www2.theserverside.com/articles/article.tss?l=MonsonHaefel-Column4 But since Tomcat is a servlet conatiner, not an EJB container there is no such thing available (know to me). Therefore use the OS standard like crontab under *nix and AT under Win*. These may trigger a simple HTTP Request program (wget, lynx, links, Perl-Script) which calls your servlet.
