I am sure I can make this work though all I really need is a a timer that kicks off a method every X seconds and is managed by someone. Using the servlet I simply had a thread that would sleep for X seconds but I didn't have any management, which could be done if I need to.

Looking at the EJB timer service it looks like a lot of overhead and work to do a run this every X seconds. Is there a solution I am missing or do I need to create a monitor thread for my run every x seconds thread?

When it was written I am sure there was but I can't think of any presently.

I am looking for examples/tutorials do you have any good ones?

Any reason why you are not EJB timer service?

I have a timer that is running in a servlet in Glassfish and I encountered a problem with it last night, the timer thread stopped. I need a way to ensure the timer is running and if it does stop, to restart it. Is there a way to have the server monitor this or am I hoping for too much?
