Should you prefer using Java Concurrent, please have a look at what these guys did: http://code.google.com/p/parfait/
<http://code.google.com/p/parfait/>They succesfully merged *JSR-275*, the Units of Measure API with elements in java.util.concurrent, allowing a far greater flexibility with regards to TimeUnits than the plain JDK enum provides. Also great for conversion between units, e.g. Parfait uses it for Bit/sec or TB/h, etc. On Thu, Sep 2, 2010 at 11:20 AM, Werner Keil <werner.k...@gmail.com> wrote: > You could also use Quartz. > > Werner > > > On Thu, Sep 2, 2010 at 11:18 AM, <p.stavrini...@albourne.com> wrote: > >> > This has to be done independently of the activity of the users on the >> web application >> Whats not clear to me is if you will be updating a UI or not... unless you >> are, then why use JavaScript?
