Richard, Can you run it in your webapp container? You could then update an object in application scope with the id's of what records have changed. You could even change your DAO to perform that step for you. Then you could have the quartz scheduler running to periodically update things without needing to run any additional code, crontab, atq, etc. All of this from inside your Struts webapp. FYI, Quartz is at http://www.opensymphony.com/quartz and no, I have no affiliation with them. LOL.
Regards, David -----Original Message----- From: Richard Reyes Subject: [OT] Java as a Daemon Hello Guys, I need your suggestions. I have a task to create an application to sync records between 2 Oracle 10g database. Not the whole records of the database though, just the now and then transactional updates. Access to the db's would be both via web services. I think I have an option to do this like - a simple java application executed via .sh file - a java application running as a daemon on a unix box But I really am not sure which better path I should take. Any suggestions would be very much appreciated.
