public static void main(String args[])
{
for (int i = 0 ; i < 100 ; i++)

System.out.println(i);
}
}
}

Sun's Java Tutorial includes a lesson on Using the Timer and TimerTask Classes.

Have one Timer Componet like this. load this componet in Servlet init method
*****************************************
import java.util.*;
import java.io.*;
public class SchedulerComponent
{
Date DateObj =new Date();
//load this text file value and set for date obj.
SchedulerComponent()
{
Timer objTimer = new Timer();
objTimer.scheduleAtFixedRate(new TimerTask()
{public void run()
{
for (int i = 0 ; i < 100 ; i++)
{
System.out.println(i);
}
//iCount1++;
}
}, 0, DateObj);
}
}
