I have servlets that do exactly what you want.
During initialization, the servlet notes down the current time, and the
time it's supposed to regularly perform a job. It then calculates the
number of hours for it to initially sleep before reaching the job time.
It then sleeps for that time period, does the job, then regularly sleeps
for 24 hours.
