Scheduling inside runnable

I am using Spring ThreadPoolTaskScheduler to execute a task and I am scheduling the same task inside the run() method as below. By doing so I am making sure the next is scheduled after the current task is completed.

public class Task implements Runnable{
    @Autowired
    ThreadPoolTaskScheduler scheduler;
    public void run() {
        //some work
        scheduler.schedule(this, new Date(System.currentTimeMillis() + delay));
    }
}

Is this approach safe, will there be any concurrency issues?

Instead of trying to hand configure the next execution, you should use ThreadPoolTaskScheduler.scheduleWithFixedDelay(...). It does exactly what your code does, except better.
