Java - Run a method on a specific date

Question

I need to execute a method on a specific date of each year, how can I do this in java?

Thank,

Chris.

Answer 1

In order of preference:

• Quartz library (recommended).

• java.util.Timer. Not as powerful as quartz, but good for simple tasks.

• EJB Timer Service. It is poorly documented, it requires a full Java EE container, and it actually does nothing that does not have Quartz.

Answer 2

Check out Timer Class

Method:

scheduleAtFixedRate(TimerTask task, Date firstTime, long period) 
          Schedules the specified task for repeated fixed-rate execution, beginning at the specified time.

let you do what you want. Just make sure you use the correct date.

API, TimerTask, run(). run() , .
