Hi, I don't think there are any options. When I last looked (a while back), the J2EE1.4 spec didn't provide any means to set up timers through configuration files, deployment descriptors, etc. Specifically, the only way you could start a timer was through the API, which meant that you needed some kind of event to fire first in order to make your code run to set the timer, etc. A bit catch 22. The only solution as I see it is to use a startup servlet, or else use some kind of external scheduling approach (using Unix cron or Windows at) as detailed by other over the last couple of days.
