    Hi

    Our requirement to create numerous Timers ( Basically for every user in the application. Every user can have different time period, it could be hourly, weekly, monthly, yearly). We are using weblogic 8.1 so we can not use EJB Timer Service. Also we are not using entity beans.

     Your thoughts are greatly appreciated.

    Please post any ideas to my email Satish dot Kakumani at ionidea dot com

    Thanks and Regards

    Maybe you can look into using quartz...

    It's an enterprise job scheduler for JAVA objects.

    Hi
    I agree that if you send email to me that would not benifit others. So please post here only.

    I need a some clarification from you. Our application has lot of complexity with time based events such as triggering some actions on 5th day of every week,every year and so on. I discovered that Quartz Schedular will do the trick. But in one the article from the serverside has stated that "Quartz uses its own tread pool and these threads are not container based". But this statement has caused lot of confusion in our group to use this or not!!. Is there any way that these threads can be controller by J2EE server by itself??.
    BTW we are using weblogc 8.1 server.



    Thanks and Regards
