... nice suggestion, but I am delivering an application as a .war file to a 3rd party and they just want the .war (+ context.xml) with everything in it.... hence, no other applications checking the logs or database. All functionality must come from the .war running in Tomcat. It is very important: all functionality must be encapsulated in the .war file. (I have no idea what cron +wegt is???)
I guess a daemon thread will be my choice solution for now... what the thread does, is check a database daily for a certain false condition and send an e-mail to all users in question warning them about the current status. E.g. if you have to submit your timesheet by Friday 17:00, then you'll get a warning on Friday at 12:00 if it is not done yet.... something like that. --- Tim Funk <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Tomcat doesn't provide this but other simple > solutions exist such as exposing > a URL and using cron + wget.
