Hi Gurpreet I haven't tried this...but it came across my mind as I need something similar very soon.
You could write a Struts plugin... init() method called on start of webapp and destroy() method called on shutdown of webapp. In the init() method you could start a thread that "wakes up" at specified interval, say each minute, to check if there is some tasks that need to be done, eg sending mails, cleaning up, make some coffee (;-)) In the destroy method you could stop the thread again I don't know if this violates with the J2EE spec...I remember reading something about threads...but that might be for EJBs only...Anyone can shed some light on this issue?

Basically i need one of my program to track all of the reminders i have set in an web-application. Say if i have set a reminder to send an email to client at 1400 hrs then it should send that email at that time without the need of signing into the account. Any help will be of great use.
