You're making a mistake. A Java Servlet is a Java component that responds to a web request. That's it - nothing more, nothing less, just what it is designed for. It is not designed to be a "cron job". Something like that doesn't belong to a web application - or should we say, to the web GUI part of a web application. In a full JEE application which has a web portal (like Tomcat), you would place such a "cron job" somewhere other than a web interface. I'm not sure where, I'm no expert on JEE (yet). This was like asking "can CGI script be configured to run at regular intervals?". Of course you could run a cron job that would act as a web client and send a request that would fire up that CGI or Servlet. But that is going slightly around it. And doing it at the wrong point. Web applications are request driven application and should not be twisted into something unnatural. Use a regular cron job for this.
