JDK Timer is a simple scheduler for a specified task for repeated fixed-delay execution. To use this, you have to extends the TimerTask abstract class, override the run() method with your scheduler function.
RunMeTask.java
package com.mkyong.common;
import java.util.TimerTask;
public class RunMeTask extends TimerTask
{
@Override
public void run() {
System.out.println("Run Me ~");
}
}
Now, you can schedule it by calling the schedule() method of Timer.
public void schedule(TimerTask task,
long delay,
long period)
App.java
package com.mkyong.common;
import java.util.Timer;
import java.util.TimerTask;
public class App
{
public static void main( String[] args )
{
TimerTask task = new RunMeTask();
Timer timer = new Timer();
timer.schedule(task, 1000,60000);
}
}
In this example, the timer will print the “Run Me ~” message every 60 seconds, with a 1 second delay for the first time of execution.
is it possible to control this execution when the application is clustered?
also u can get example for running task regularly… http://www.javadiscover.blogspot.in/2015/05/java-timer.html
HOW TO MAKE IT STOP HELP
call cancel() on the Timer instance
Thank you!
I had been wondering if your web hosting is OK? Not that I’m complaining, but sluggish loading instances times will very frequently affect your placement in google and can damage your high quality score if advertising and marketing with Adwords.
