use scheduler than thread

fixedRate makes Spring run the task on periodic intervals even if the last invocation may be still running.

fixedDelay specifically controls the next execution time when the last execution finishes.

cron is a feature originating from Unix cron utility and has various options based on your requirements.

@Scheduled(fixedDelay =30000)
public void demoServiceMethod () {... }

@Scheduled(fixedRate=30000)
public void demoServiceMethod () {... }

@Scheduled(cron="0 0 * * * *")
public void demoServiceMethod () {... }

How about starting it with a ServletContextListener? Then it will be started as soon as your web application starts.

void contextInitialized(ServletContextEvent sce) Receives notification that the web application initialization process is starting.

http://docs.oracle.com/javaee/6/api/javax/servlet/ServletContextListener.html

Also, about the scheduled task, you might want to consider options like these so you don't have to reinvent the wheel:

Cheers!
