>Are there some negative aspects to this approach?
It's simply that cron is already there and as such is a tried and
tested method.
There is nothing intrinsically *wrong* with doing it the way you
suggest.
To get the flexibility of cron however you have a lot of work on your
hands.
The adjunct to my original email was trying to suggest that if you
have a specific task, eg: checking a mailstore, that is pertinent to
your servlet it might well be the way to do it.
Also if you can't gaurantee access to cron.
Also, personal preference.
