[Shankar Arumugam]

Hi,

I want to use the Windows Task Sheduler to run a method every 1 hour. I
am new to java programming world.So help me out to schedule it using the task scheduler.If possible give me some sample code also.

You can do that with timers...
But,that logic can be simply implemented like

Spawn a thread , call the method depending upon your condition( simply infinite times)

public void run()
{
   while(true) //write your condition
   {
        CalltheMethod();
        [B]Thread.Sleep(1000*60*60);[/B]
   }
}

If you want to create a windows service programatically then Java service wrapper will come to your help.

This is a nice article on using Java service wrapper.

Be Clear When you asking Question.

I think it is Windows Task Scheduler starting a Application rather than method.

Anyway,Java is not suited when you writing windows services and calling lots of Win32 API or any native calls.
