windows task schedular programming

[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.

[Ramya Chowdary]

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.
