For a continuously-running servlet, you would want to create
a new thread that sleeps for some time interval (the
interval isn't important if long enough because it won't add
any appreciable burden to the CPU) and calls the
java.util.Calendar method ( Calendar timeStamp = new
Calendar.getInstance();), which will return a
GregorianCalendar object with the current time and date.
The SimpleTimeZone object sets your time zone as an offset
of Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) and will be set each time a new
Calendar object is created. See java.util.Calendar API for
method details.

Subject: Cheking the Date every Day
Hi, anyone knows how to make a servlet that chek the date
every day?
Should I use Threads to do this?
And another question, when I make a GregorianCalendar and i
set a
specific TimeZone it remains as the default one.
Thanks!
