Implementing scheduler

Question

hi all.i need help on this issue..
this is my web.xml
<servlet>
<servlet-name>ApplicationService Servlet</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>ljt.view.servlet.ApplicationService</servlet-class>
<load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
</servlet>
this is my ApplicationService.java
public class ApplicationService extends HttpServlet {
public void init(ServletConfig config) throws ServletException {
super.init(config);
ScheduleRegClean();
public void ScheduleRegClean() {
Timer timer = new Timer();
Calendar date = Calendar.getInstance();
System.out.println(date.getTime());
Calendar current = new GregorianCalendar();
Calendar cal = new GregorianCalendar(current.get(Calendar.YEAR), 0, 31);
System.out.println("SET " + cal.getTime());
if (cal.getTime().equals(new Date()) || cal.getTime().after(new Date())){
timer.schedule(new RegClean(), cal.getTime(), 1000 * 60 * 60 * 24 * 7 * 365); // Schedule to run every 1 year
and this is my RegClean.java
public class RegClean extends TimerTask{
public void run() {
SchedulerServiceImpl am = (SchedulerServiceImpl)AppModuleFactory.getAppModule("ljt.model.scheduler.SchedulerService", "SchedulerServiceLocal");
String sqlRegClean;
sqlRegClean = "UPDATE LJT_LS SET STATUS_ID=2 WHERE STATUS_ID=1 AND EXPIRY_DATE < SYSDATE;\n" +
"UPDATE LJT_LS_ASST SET STATUS_ID=2 WHERE STATUS_ID=1 AND LS_ID IN (SELECT LS_ID FROM LJT_LS WHERE STATUS_ID=2);";
System.out.println("sqlRegClean = " + sqlRegClean);
am.getDBTransaction().executeCommand(sqlRegClean);
am.getDBTransaction().commit();
my problem is how can i set this job to run on 31st January every year..?

Answer 1

hi frank. thanks for reply. that's why i using 1000 * 60 * 60 * 24 * 7 * 365 is not the good solution. do u have any suggestion for my job. i want to schedule this job on 31/01 for the current year.
ublic class RegClean extends TimerTask{
public void run() {
SchedulerServiceImpl am = (SchedulerServiceImpl)AppModuleFactory.getAppModule("ljt.model.scheduler.SchedulerService", "SchedulerServiceLocal");
String sqlRegClean;
sqlRegClean = "UPDATE LJT_LS SET STATUS_ID=2 WHERE STATUS_ID=1 AND EXPIRY_DATE < SYSDATE;\n" +
"UPDATE LJT_LS_ASST SET STATUS_ID=2 WHERE STATUS_ID=1 AND LS_ID IN (SELECT LS_ID FROM LJT_LS WHERE STATUS_ID=2);";
System.out.println("sqlRegClean = " + sqlRegClean);
am.getDBTransaction().executeCommand(sqlRegClean);
am.getDBTransaction().commit();
thank you
