Develop automatic B'Day mailer in java

[ram shah]

Hi,

I have a requirement...I have a table which contains name, B'Day & e-mail id of 10 people. I need to develop a java program which will check fo rthe names of people wih B'Day on a particular day & automatically send a mail to them.

Any body can throw some light on this???

I'm planning to link the java pogram with a scheduler & run the program every morning.

Pls help...

Hey you can try using Quartz which is a scheduler tool. Google for quartz for the tutorials and How to do articles.

JavaMail is another option i can think of. You can have plain Java Threads to achieve this automated scheduling.

Good luck.

Quartz would do the job. However, far easier would be a Timer and TimerTask.

Thanks for the reply...

We need to integrate the program with Mambo...is it possible?

Sorry, no idea about integration with Mambo.

You need to check with its documentation.
