Hello,I have some kind of a task scheduler in my webapp. It's made of MBean Timer object, it fires its events overy 2 minutes and it works well.
I know - it it works don't fix it ;-)But I want to turn it into something like cron. There are two projects I'm aware of: jcrontab at sourceforge and quartz at opensymphony. Isn't it true, that spawning user defined threads is not recommended thing in servlet/j2ee applications? Both those projects use custom threads to run schedulers and tasks.
I would like to stay with MBean solution. But what happens when I increase frequency of events and processing time of events? I.e. app server will fire events every 15 seconds and some events would take a minute to complete? I don't want to have three other events waiting in a queue, I would like to receive them at exact time they fired (well, in a separate thread?).
What way should I go? -- Mikolaj Rydzewski <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Becomo S.A. tel. (12) 2927104
