What did you see in there that leads to to believe that this couldn't be done from within a web container?
A web container is a Java app.
You could certainly embed either solution (quartz or java.util.timer) into a context scoped object that gets instanciated via a contextListener.
There are some things to watch out for (daemon vs non-daemon threads, etc..) but these are typical issues when starting your own threads from within a webapp.
