Hi!

Thanks,

Hi Naveen,

Are you asking about any specific Tool like 'AS' or is it normal as

id it is normal as then their is not tool or class available until know .

If your application really need it then you can design one class using the thread concept and get the time and schedule your servlets.

What, exactly, do you mean by 'schedule execution'?
Servlets sit and wait for requests from clients (browsers) and send responses to them.

You can control the order in which they are initially loaded by using the load-on-startup tag within the servlet entry in web.xml.
Is that what you mean?

Actually my task is to execute a logic daily at a particular time. Right now I have used a java Program and added it to the scheduler, which invokes the servlet daily.
Is there any other way to accomplish this.
Thanks.
