public class Schedular extends HttpServlet {
Timer timer;
public Schedular(int seconds) {
timer = new Timer();
timer.schedule(new RemindTask(), seconds*1000);
class RemindTask extends TimerTask {
public void run() {
System.out.println("hai !");
timer.cancel(); //Terminate the timer thread
public void init(ServletConfig config) throws ServletException {
     super.init(config);
System.out.println("About to schedule task.");
new Schedular(5);
System.out.println("Task scheduled.");
public void service(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
     throws IOException, ServletException
               System.out.println("servee.");
}

In web.xml, you say the servlet class is com.abc.xyz.Schedular but your servlet isn't in the package.
You need to add the following to your servlet...
package com.abc.xyz;Hope this helps,
