I have a WO application, and certain process of it will run on five
different days during a week. And after each daily run, the process will
update the status variables in the Application.java.
Here is what I am doing:
I schedule through WebObject Monitor to launch my application weekly. In
the constructor of Application.java, a timer is created as a new java
thread. This timer schedules certain process to run on five different days
during the week. Well, I have no problem creating timer (using
java.util.Timer) and running my scheduled process. But after the scheduled
process finishes, I don't know how to update the variables in the
Application.java. I can't find a way to access the variables in
Application.java from other java classes.
Any suggestions? Any other approach? I'm really stuck here. All advice is
appreciated.
Wen
