If my assignment said "Architecture should be based on JEE Platform", can I choose Quartz as the Scheduler ?Though third-party, it is a java-based api, right ?
Any other options to trigger a Java Timer task from a webapp?
if you can use JEE 6 / EJB 3.1 you could simply resort to the built-in Timer Service. It has a lot of features similar to Quartz (for example calendars and a Cron-like syntax) and it's very easy to use. Just have a look at the examples from Oracle's JEE tutorial ;-)
