Hi Filip,

Your servlet can call a class (doesn't have to be a servlet) that sets up a
java.util.timer to run your code as a timerTask.  The servlet can get
parameters from the web.xml file (like how often to execute) and pass that
to your class that controls the timer.

The servlet can pass your class the connection pool info and other needed
session info.
