asked on

automated emails

was wondering how hard it would be, or even possible in java to automate emails at a specific time.

Mail client A at x time on y date

Mail client b at x time on y date


etc...

Yep,

That should be doable. You should use a kind of Timer to do that. I think that Quartz should help you doing that.

is Java not capable of tracking time on its own? Any ideas on how i can get this started?
Is this web application or Desktop Application (J2SE)? As far as I know, there is a Timer class in Java itself but I never used it.

I still prefer Quartz. Do you have any constraint(s) to use 3rd party lib?

desktop app, i can use anything i want. Its just for sending out patching notices to clients.
