Run TimerTask on start Application Server

I have a Timer class to response of SMS continuously. 

public class MyRegularTask extends TimerTask {
    public void run() {
        Thread.sleep(1000);
        answerLeftSMS();
        // this.cancel(); I do not cancel this Timer
    }
}

Currently I am running it by a action call. 

Timer time = new Timer();
MyRegularTask taskTimer = new MyRegularTask();
time.schedule(taskTimer, 0, 60000);

Is there any way to run this timer automatically, when I start Application Server (Tomcat, Glassfish) ? I am using Spring MVC (Annotation).

Following should do the trick

@Component
public class MyRegularTask extends TimerTask {

    @PostConstruct
    public void init() {
        Timer time = new Timer();
        MyRegularTask taskTimer = new MyRegularTask();
        time.schedule(taskTimer, 0, 60000);
    }

    public void run() {
        Thread.sleep(1000);
        answerLeftSMS();
        // this.cancel(); I do not cancel this Timer
    }
}
