Try looking into Quartz, a library for such things. The lack of a standard scheduling framework outside of JMX is a problem in JEE in general... However, the Struts "Timer" seems to measure rendering time, so I am not sure why your boss thought that would help. http://struts.apache.org/2.0.11.1/struts2-core/apidocs/org/apache/struts2/util/Timer.html - Tor Iver
