ScheduledExecutorService

This topic has been addressed many times already on a Stack Overflow.

Learn about executors.

Specifically look at ScheduledExecutorService.

A background thread can run your task at regular intervals.

You can use Quartz scheduler with Struts2 or Spring's @Scheduled. Here's the example to use Struts 2 + Spring 3 + Quartz 1.8 Scheduler Example.

There you can modify cron expression to run every 10 min

<property name="cronExpression" value="* 0/10 * * * ?" />
