I am planning on putting a small heartbeat program as part of my Struts application. The heartbeat program will request HTTP headers from an external web server every 5 minutes or so, and if the response is not a 200,will send email to 3 people.
I plan on using a java class that starts a thread in the init method of the controller servlet. This thread will sleep for 5 minutes between sending requests to the external web server. It in turn will call a custom mail-sending class if the response is not 200. First, does anyone have any code like this, before I start coding, Second, any comments on my approach, Third, is there a better way (in Java of course). Thanks for any comments you have Ron --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
