Timer and TimerTask problem

[galven wing]

hi,all:
I have a problem.I write a servlt.when the servlet does init(),
code like this:
public class T extends HttpServlet{
public void init(){
Task1 task = new Task1(); //Task1 extends TimerTask
Calendar cal=Calendar.getInstance();
Calendar newCal=newCal.set(
cal.get(Calendar.YEAR),
cal.get(Calendar.MONTH),
cal.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH),
0,
0,
0;
Date delay = newCal.getTime();
timer.schedule(task, delay,86400000);
}
}
public class Task1 extends TimerTask{
public void run(){
// do something
}
}
when i load the servlet, task.run() will execute right now.and some times,it will not execute right now. i dont know why this will happen.
thx

It is possible that the delay Date time is already passed.

I wouldn't say that the time is gone as the delay is computed right there. Maybe you cannot see the output of your task as you cannot say (the spec doesn't say) when the servlet is loaded.
